The Saitama Rapid Railway Line (埼玉高速鉄道線, Saitama Kōsoku Tetsudō sen^?) is a Japan commuter railway line operated by Saitama Railway Corporation. It forms a continuation of the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, starting at Akabane-Iwabuchi station in Tokyo and ending at Urawa Misono Station in Saitama. It was completed on March 28, 2001.

The Saitama Rapid Railway line (including Urawa Misono Station) was built in time for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which held several matches at the Saitama Stadium.

In the future, the line may be extended north from Urawa-Misono through Iwatsuki-ku, Saitama to Hasuda Station (in Hasuda, Saitama) on the JR East Utsunomiya Line, but financial problems have prevented Saitama Prefecture from the construction of the extension.
