The River Line (stylized as River LINE) is a hybrid rail (light rail with some features similar to commuter rail) service in southern New Jersey that connects the cities of Camden and Trenton, New Jersey's capital. It is so named because its route between the two cities is parallel to the Delaware River.

The River Line stops at the PATCO Speedline's Broadway station (Walter Rand Transportation Center) and the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line's Pennsauken Transit Center, providing connections to Philadelphia. Its northern terminus is adjacent to the Trenton Transit Center in Trenton.

The line is operated for New Jersey Transit by the Southern New Jersey Rail Group (SNJRG), which originally included Bechtel and Bombardier Transportation. Now that the project is in its operational phase, Bombardier is the only member of SNJRG.[4] In 2021, Alstom acquired Bombardier Transportation.
