The Tokyo Metro 7000 series (東京地下鉄7000系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 7000-kei?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro in Tokyo, Japan, since 1974. The design is based on the earlier Tokyo Metro 6000 series trains used on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line.
7000 series trainsets operate on the following lines.
As of 1 April 2013, the fleet consists of six 10-cars sets and 15 eight-car sets. They are formed as shown below with car 1 at the northern end.
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout. Cars 2 and 9 in the 10-car sets and cars 2 and 7 in the 8-car sets each have a wheelchair space. Priority seating is provided at the end of each car.

The sets originally sported a yellow bodyside line when used on Yurakucho Line services, but were gradually reliveried with brown, gold, and white stripes coinciding with use on Fukutoshin Line services.
Four 7000 series 10-car sets (7117, 7121, 7122, and 7123) were shipped to Indonesia in 2010 for use on suburban services operated by KRL Jabotabek (KCJ) in Jakarta. The four sets were reduced to 8-car formations and are formed as follows, based at Depok Depot.
On December 9, 2013, set 7121 (KRL 1131) collided with a Pertamina tank truck at a level crossing at Bintaro Permai intersection on the KCJ Jakarta - Tangerang line in Tangerang, Indonesia, leading to 7 deaths and 45 injuries. The front two carriages of set 7121 as well as the tank truck were both destroyed in the ensuing fire. As a result of the accident, set 7121 was finally scrapped.
