The Tenryū Hamanako Line (天竜浜名湖線, Tenryū Hamanako-sen^?), or Tenhama Line (天浜線, Tenhama-sen^?) for short, is a Japanese railway line in Shizuoka Prefecture, paralleling the north coast of Lake Hamana between Kakegawa Station in Kakegawa and Shinjohara Station in Kosai. This is the only railway line of Tenryū Hamanako Railroad (天竜浜名湖鉄道, Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō^?).

The Japanese National Railways Futamata Line (二俣線, Futamata sen^?) began operations on April 17, 1935 between Kakegawa and Enshū-Mori. Construction work progressed in the opposite direction with the Futamata-Nishi Line (二俣線西, Futamata-Nishi sen^?) connecting Shinjohara with Mikkabi on December 1, 1936. This line was extended to Kaminobe by April 1, 1938, and the two lines were connected on June 1, 1940.
