The Kamiiida Line (上飯田線, Kamiiida-sen) is a subway line which is part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway system in Nagoya, Japan.

After the abolishment of Nagoya Municipal Tramway in the 1970s, Kamiiida Station, the terminus of Meitetsu Komaki Line, lost its connection to other railway lines. Users had to walk to Heian-dōri Station or take a bus. The short link line was opened in 2003. There is a future plan to extend the line, but the plan is currently suspended.
