The Tsuyama Line (津山線, Tsuyama-sen^?) is a railway line operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) connecting Okayama and Tsuyama in Okayama Prefecture, Japan.

All-stations "Local" (普通, futsū^?) and limited-stop "Rapid" (快速, kaisoku^?) services called Kotobuki (ことぶき^?) operate over the line. In the "Rapid" column in the table below, "O" indicates stations at which "Rapid" services stop.

Some Rapid services also stop at Nonokuchi and Takebe stations.

The line was opened on 21 December 1898 by the Chugoku Railway (中国鉄道^?). It was nationalized on 1 June 1944, becoming part of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) system, and from 1 April 1987, with the privatization of JNR, it was transferred to the control of West Japan Railway Company (JR West).
