The Nippori-Toneri Liner (日暮里・舎人ライナー, Nippori-Toneri-rainaa^?) is an automated guideway transit (AGT) system between Nippori Station in Arakawa and Minumadai-shinsuikōen Station in Adachi, Tokyo, Japan. The line opened on March 30, 2008. It is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei).

The fully elevated, double-tracked line is 9.7 km long with 13 stations, and it provides access to the Yamanote Line at both Nippori and Nishi-Nippori stations. A journey from end to end takes 20 minutes, compared to as long as 60 minutes by bus during rush hour.

In fiscal 2008, an average of 48,943 people used the line each day. This compares to a 2007 forecast of 51,000 passengers per day.

All stations are located in Tokyo.

As of 1 April 2016^[update], services on the line are operated using a fleet of 16 five-car 300 series (sets 1 to 16) and one five-car 330 series (set 31) trainsets.

From its opening, the line has used a fleet of 300 series trainsets with stainless steel bodies. From 10 October 2015, one new 330 series trainset was introduced on the line. This five-car set was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and has an aluminium body. A new 320 series trainset (set 21) is scheduled to enter service on the line on 10 May 2017. This will have two pairs of sliding doors on the side of each car, and all seating will be longitudinal bench seating.
