The Odakyū Enoshima Line (小田急江ノ島線, Odakyū Enoshima-sen^?) is a long branch line operated by the Japanese private railway operator Odakyū Electric Railway in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture. The Enoshima Line branches from the Odawara Line at Sagami-Ōno, extending south to Fujisawa and Katase Enoshima, a distance of 27.6 km. It opened for service with 13 stations on April 1, 1929.

As is also the case with the Odawara Line, as well as being a heavy commuter line the operator also offers, for an additional charge, limited express services to the popular scenic site of Enoshima. After the introduction of East Japan Railway Company's (JR East) Shōnan-Shinjuku Line, passengers between Fujisawa Station and Shinjuku Station have had an alternative to the Enoshima Line. Odakyū have responded since then to improve the frequencies of rapid through services to Shinjuku.

Services

The Limited Express trains are named "Enoshima" and "Homeway". Surcharges are required for rapid and seat reservation services with better accommodation of carriages. Rapid service is also offered. Express and Rapid-Express make more stops than Limited Express services, and are served by the same types of EMUs as Local trains without extra charge. Abbreviations are tentative for this article.
