The Chŏllima Line () is a rapid transit line owned and operated by Pyongyang Metro in Pyongyang, North Korea. The line has a depot at Sopo, near the Korean State Railway's Sopo station.
The section from Ponghwa station to Puhung station is also referred to as the Mangyongdae Line; nonetheless most sources refer to the metro system as having two lines. There are plans to extend the line from Puhung to Mangyongdae and from Pulgunbyol to Sopo, which already connects to the metro depot, but does not have third rail electrification. There was allegedly a plan to extend the line to Pyongsong in the 1980s.
In 1999, KBS reported that the third line was already under construction and scheduled to open for the 55th Party Foundation Day in 2000. It was to run from Kwangbok station to Mangyongdae.
In 2024, Thongil station was renamed to just "station", as shown by a tour of the metro system taken by Russian embassy staff. The name Thongil (Unification) was removed in accordance with Kim Jong-un's new belligerent policy toward South Korea. By September 2024, the station was renamed Moranbong.
