The Relief Line is a proposed rapid transit line for the Toronto subway system, intended to provide capacity relief to the Yonge segment of Line 1 and Bloor–Yonge station and extend subway service coverage in the city's east end in the first phase.

Since the early 21st century, studies propose a line that would run south from Line 2 Bloor–Danforth at a point east of the Don River, before bending westward along Queen Street into Downtown Toronto. Potential extensions could be made northward from its Line 2 connection in the east, as well as westward and northward from downtown to form a wide U-shape.
