The Tanjong Tokong line, also spelt as the Tanjung Tokong line, is a proposed light rail transit or monorail system in Penang. The 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) line is planned to connect George Town's city centre with its northern suburb of Tanjong Tokong. The line has eight stations, with potential extensions towards Tanjong Bungah and Batu Ferringhi.[1]

The line is a component of the Penang Transport Master Plan and contains interchange stations towards the Mutiara line and Ayer Itam line. Along with the Mutiara line, the line may be part of the northern end of Penang's first light rail transit alignment from Bayan Lepas to Tanjong Bungah.[2]
