The Xijiao Line of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁西郊线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě xījiāo xiàn) is a light rail line in Haidian District of Beijing. It runs west and north from Bagou on Line 10 to the Fragrant Hills - a total length of 8.8 km. The total construction cost is estimated as RMB(¥) 1 billion. It was opened on December 30, 2017.

On 1 January 2018, tram XJ003 derailed after a malfunction when exiting Fragrant Hills Station at 2:36 PM with no passengers on board. The tram slid down the tracks with its control lever still at traction position after being lifted back on to the tracks later that day.
