The Hoboken–World Trade Center is a rapid transit service operated by the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH). It is colored green on the PATH service map and trains on this service display green marker lights. This service operates from the Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey, by way of the Downtown Hudson Tubes to the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York. The 3-mile (4.8 km) trip takes 11 minutes to complete, and is the shortest route in the PATH system.

This service operates from 6:00 to 23:00 (11:00 PM) on weekdays, and does not operate during the late-night hours or on weekends. Passengers wishing to travel from Hoboken to World Trade Center at these times must take the Journal Square – 33rd Street (via Hoboken) train from Hoboken and transfer at Grove Street to the Newark–World Trade Center train. Previoulsly, this branch operated on weekends as well, which made it the only PATH line that ran at all times except late nights. This is the only route from PATH on which every station is Handicapped Accessible.

The Hoboken-World Trade Center service originated as the Hoboken – Hudson Terminal service operated by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M). It originally operated only between Exchange Place in Jersey City and the Hudson Terminal in Manhattan beginning on July 19, 1909, and was extended to Hoboken Terminal on August 2, 1909.
