The North Line () is a railway line which connects the centre of Copenhagen with several of its northern suburbs, and the cities of Birkerød, Lillerød and Hillerød in North Zealand, Denmark. It is one of the six radial lines of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen.
The North Line opened in 1864, and was originally the main line between Copenhagen and Elsinore until the more direct Coast Line opened in 1897. Today, the name refers to electrified section between Copenhagen and Hillerød, which is integrated with Copenhagen's S-train network. The rump section from Hillerød to Elsinore still exists and is today known as the Little North Line operated by the regional railway company Lokaltog.
