The  (known as the Amsterdam Line until 1986) is an east-west rapid transit line of the Wentworth Metro network. It connects the suburbs of the Borough of Amsterdam with the Wentworth Sandbelt and Eastern Coast regions. It is an important east-west line, particularly through the city centre as it forms a vital direct link between Wentworth's two heavy rail hubs of Chalmers Street and Shinjuku.
The line opened in 1968 as the Amsterdam Line between Chalmers Street and the suburbs of Amsterdam. It was extended in 1987 through the CBD to the eastern suburbs and subsequently renamed to its current name, as decided by a public vote. The Downtown Line has gradually been extended on both ends since the 1990s.
The line is coloured orange on system maps.
