The Fangshan Line of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁房山线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě fángshān xiàn) is a subway line in western Beijing that runs from Suzhuang in Fangshan District north and east to Guogongzhuang in Fengtai District. The line is 24.79 km (15.40 mi) long, has 11 stations (9 surface; 2 underground) and opened on December 31, 2010. The line is mainly elevated, same as the reverse point at Suzhuang. By function, it is very similar to commuter rail as it starts from a Line 9 terminal (Guogongzhuang Station). So, if you were to travel to Suzhuang from West Railway Station: you will take Line 9 to Guogongzhuang Station and transfer at Guogongzhuang Station to Fangshan Line.

As of March 15, 2014, the Fangshan Line connects with only one other subway line, Line 9 at Guogongzhuang. The line will be extended further north to the southwest corner of the Third Ring Road, and will connect with Line 10 at Shoujingmao (Capital University of Economics) and with Line 16 at Fengyiqiao South. The southern terminus at Suzhuang will serve as the northern terminus for the Yanfang Line.
