The Tsugaru Line (津軽線, Tsugaru-sen) is a railway line operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It connected Aomori and Minmaya stations on the Tsugaru Peninsula in western Aomori Prefecture; the section between Kanita and Minmaya has been indefinitely closed due to flood damage in 2022.

The section of the line between Aomori Station and Naka-Oguni Station is a part of the Tsugaru-Kaikyō Line connecting Honshu and Hokkaido.
