The T2 Airport, Inner West & South Line is a suburban rail line in Sydney, the largest city in the Australian state of New South Wales. T2 is one of the eight lines of the Sydney Trains network. Introduced in 2013, T2 primarily serves the inner west and south-western regions of the city via the City Circle.

From Circular Quay the line branches south via the Airport Link and then rejoins with the Main Suburban line at Turrella. From this point the line heads south-west via the East Hills line to Glenfield, and then south via the Main South line to terminate at Macarthur. A branch line at Glenfield Junction via the South West Rail Link terminates at Leppington. From Macarthur in the south-west, the line heads generally north-northeast via the Main South line to Merrylands before rejoining with the Main Suburban line between Granville and Redfern, before rejoining with the City Circle at Central. Some off-peak services bypass the Airport Link and from Central stopping at Redfern and Sydenham on the parallel Illawarra Line.
