The Saikyō Line (埼京線, Saikyō-sen?, an abbreviation for "Saitama-Tokyo Line") is a railway line between Ōsaki Station in Shinagawa, Tokyo) and Ōmiya Station (Ōmiya Ward, Saitama, Japan).
At the northern end of the line, some trains continue beyond Ōmiya as far as Kawagoe Station on the Kawagoe Line. At Ōsaki, most Saikyō Line trains continue onward to Shin-Kiba on the Rinkai Line operated by Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit.
The line runs parallel to the Yamanote Line between Ōsaki and Ikebukuro, where it is formally called the Yamanote Freight Line (山手貨物線?), and to the Tōhoku Main Line between Akabane and Ōmiya, where it is unofficially called the Second Tohoku Line (東北別線?). The portion between Ikebukuro and Akabane is officially known as the Akabane Line (赤羽線?). For most purposes, JR refers to all of these as part of the "Saikyō Line" when being used for Saikyō Line services.
Before the Saikyō Line, there were several attempts to improve commuter rail service between Saitama and Tokyo. One of the earliest, the Tokyo-Ōmiya Electric Railway (東京大宮電気鉄道, Tōkyō-Ōmiya Denki Tetsudō?), was founded in 1928 but went bankrupt shortly thereafter due to rising land values in the area. Later, in 1968, the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Transportation proposed to run the new Toei Mita Line to central Ōmiya.
