The Tobu Kameido Line (東武亀戸線^?, Tōbu Kameido-sen) is a railway line operated by Japanese private railway company Tobu Railway in Tokyo. The line is in central Tokyo, a short 3.4 km branch off the Tobu Skytree Line at Hikifune, southbound to Kameido with connections to the JR East Chūō-Sōbu Line.

All trains are two-car 8000 series formations operating as all-stations "Local" services, with no through trains to the Tobu Skytree Line.

Services on the line are operated using a fleet of two-car 8000 series EMU trains.
