The Jurong Region Line (JRL) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line under construction in Singapore, intended to serve the western region of the country, particularly the new town of Tengah and its surrounding districts. First proposed as a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system in 2001, the project was subsequently deferred before re-emerging in its current form as a fully fledged MRT line, which was officially confirmed in 2013. Construction is underway, with the line scheduled to open in stages between 2028 and 2029. Upon completion, it will become Singapore's first fully elevated MRT line and the fifth to operate entirely with automated, driverless trains.

The JRL will comprise at least 27 stations, extending north to Choa Chu Kang, south to Jurong Pier, west to Peng Kang Hill and east to Pandan Reservoir. A future extension linking Pandan Reservoir station of the JRL to West Coast station of the Cross Island Line and Kent Ridge of the Circle Line is planned for completion in the late 2030s to early 2040s, further enhancing connectivity between Singapore's western districts. The line will appear in teal on the MRT system map and will be the seventh MRT line in the national rail network.

Operations will be undertaken by Singapore One Rail (SOR), a joint venture between SBS Transit and RATP Dev Asia Pacific. Services will be operated using Hyundai Rotem's J151 trains, configured in three-car formations with provision for future expansion to four cars. Train movements will be controlled by a moving-block signalling system supplied by Siemens, enabling fully automated and driverless operation across the network.
