The Kokubunji Line (国分寺線 Kokubunji-sen?) is a railway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by Seibu Railway.

The line is part of the Seibu Shinjuku group of railway lines and connects suburban areas of western Tokyo to Seibu and JR main lines that run to central Tokyo. The line passes through the cities of Higashimurayama, Kodaira, and Kokubunji.

Seibu 101 series, 2000 series, and 3000 series EMUs are used on this line. These trains are painted in Seibu Railway's distinctive yellow livery. All trains are local services and stop at all stations. Trains take 12 minutes to complete the 7.8 km journey. The line is mostly single track between Higashi-Murayama and Koigakubo, but with double track sections at each station. Track between Koigakubo and Kokubunji is double track for the first 1.2 km and single track the last 0.9 km before Kokubunji station. The track changes from double to single at Hanesawa (羽根沢信号場 Hanesawa shingōjō?). The 1.2 km double-track section allows 8 trains per hour to operate in each direction during peak. At Kokubunji Station, trains use only a single platform (platform 5) at the terminus.
