{{Nihongo|The '''Minami Osaka Line'''|南大阪線|Minami-Ōsaka-sen}} is a railway line operated by [[Kintetsu Railway]]. It runs between {{STN|Ōsaka Abenobashi|x}} in [[Osaka]] and {{STN|Kashiharajingū-mae|x}} in [[Kashihara, Nara|Kashihara]], [[Nara Prefecture]]. The line connects Osaka to southern part of the Nara Basin, running through Osaka's southern suburb cities of [[Matsubara, Osaka|Matsubara]], [[Fujiidera, Osaka|Fujiidera]] and [[Habikino, Osaka|Habikino]] in Osaka Prefecture, and [[Katsuragi, Nara|Katsuragi]] and [[Yamatotakada, Nara|Yamato-Takada]] in Nara Prefecture. Via the [[Yoshino Line]], it also provides access to the Yoshino refuge of [[Emperor Godaigo]], a popular tourist destination, especially during the spring.

The line and its network of branch lines use {{RailGauge|1067mm}} [[Narrow-gauge railway|narrow gauge]] tracks, the only lines in the Kintetsu network with this gauge. Other Kintetsu lines use {{Track gauge|1435mm}} [[Standard-gauge railway|standard gauge]].
