The L Line is a Regional Transportation District (RTD) light rail line that serves stations exclusively in downtown Denver, Colorado. It began operations as a part of RTD's January 2018 service change along the Central Line and was formed by a truncated section of the D Line, which formerly served the route. It is colored yellow on system maps.

The L Line is currently suspended due to RTD's Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project. The line will resume operations following the conclusion of the project in 2027.
