The Yellow Line (French: Ligne jaune), also known as Line 4 (French: Ligne 4), is one of the Montreal Metro's four routes operating in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Built to serve the crowds of the Expo 67 exhibition, the line now forms a key link between Downtown Montreal, the South Shore and the city of Longueuil. The line is the shortest on the Metro at 4.25 kilometres (2.64 mi) long, having not been extended since its opening in 1967. All 3 stations on the line have been renamed since their opening.
