The '''Pyongyang Metro''' ({{korean|context=north|평양 지하철도}}) is the [[rapid transit]] system in [[Pyongyang]], the capital and largest city of [[North Korea]]. It consists of two lines: the [[Chollima Line]], which runs north from [[Puhŭng Station]] on the banks of the [[Taedong River]] to [[Pulgŭnbyŏl Station]], and the [[Hyŏksin Line]], which runs from [[Kwangbok Station]] in the southwest to [[Rakwon Station (Pyongyang)|Ragwŏn Station]] in the northeast.  The two lines intersect at [[Chŏnu Station]].

Daily ridership is estimated to be between 300,000 and 700,000.<ref name=inc>{{cite book|last=Harris|first=Mark Edward|title=Inside North Korea|url=https://archive.org/details/insidenorthkorea00harr|url-access=limited|year=2007|publisher=Chronicle Books|isbn=978-0-8118-5751-2|author2=Cumings, Bruce |page=[https://archive.org/details/insidenorthkorea00harr/page/n41 41]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0805/11/siu.01.html|title=CNN Special Investigations Unit: Notes from North Korea|agency=[[CNN]]|date=May 11, 2008|access-date=30 June 2008|archive-date=2 September 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080902043329/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0805/11/siu.01.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Structural engineering]] of the Metro was completed by North Korea, with [[rolling stock]] and related electronic equipment imported from China.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.zhihu.com/question/36364300/answer/67224292 |script-title=zh:关于朝鲜地铁最早是中国修建的说法是真的吗? |access-date=31 March 2017 |archive-date=30 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830104714/https://www.zhihu.com/question/36364300/answer/67224292 |url-status=live|language=zh}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=China Releases Details on Aid to N.Korea|url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/04/28/2011042800916.html|access-date=14 February 2016|publisher=Choson Ilbo|date=28 April 2011|archive-date=14 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160514104904/http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/04/28/2011042800916.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|script-title=zh:中国第一笔援助是对朝鲜提供 平壤地铁系我援建|url=http://www.china.com.cn/news/2011-04/26/content_22440443.htm|access-date=14 February 2016|agency=中国网|date=26 April 2011|archive-date=26 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141226051748/http://www.china.com.cn/news/2011-04/26/content_22440443.htm|url-status=live|language=zh}}</ref> This was later replaced with used rolling stock acquired from [[Berlin U-Bahn]].<ref name=BBCmetro/>
