The Yilan line () is the northern section of the Eastern line of Taiwan Railway in Taiwan. It has a length of 95km.

History

This railroad was completed in 1924 as the Giran-sen during Imperial Japanese rule over Taiwan. It was expanded to two tracks in the early 1980s.

In 2000, it was electrified between Badu and Luodong, while the remaining part was completed in 2003.

On 4 December 2020, a landslide buried a section of the line between Houtong and Ruifang Station in Ruifang District, resulting in rail service disruption along the line. Emergency work was carried out to remove the 10,000 m3 of debris and to restore the overhead line. On 14 December, the line was fully reopened for service.
