The Furuset Line ( _no. Furusetbanen) is a rapid transit line on the Oslo T-bane which serves the southern part of Groruddalen in the northeast of Oslo, Norway. The line runs to Ellingsrudåsen, serving neighborhoods in the boroughs of Hellerud and Furuset. The line shares track with the Østensjø Line (which runs southwards) from the city center to Hellerud.

The first part of the line was opened on November 18, 1970 between Hellerud and Haugerud. The extension to Trosterud was opened December 15, 1974, the extension to Furuset on February 19, 1978 and completed to Ellingsrudåsen November 8, 1981.

Unlike much of the suburban Oslo rapid transit network, much of the Furuset Line runs through tunnels. The only open-air station on the line is Haugerud. Trosterud is also over ground, but is built in at a tunnel entrance. Like all other eastern lines, the Furuset Line is operated by third rail. Before all the Oslo subway lines were connected to run through downtown, the Furuset Line was operated by Line 6, it is now operated by Line 2 which operates on the Røa Line on the west side.
