Incheon Subway Line 1 is a subway line, part of Incheon Subway.

Trial runs on Line 1, a 23 km north-south route, started in March 1999.

A trip along the line from Gyeyang in the north to Dongmak in the south takes approximately 45 minutes. Bupyeong station is a transfer point to Korail, a route which is actually integrated into Seoul's subway network as an extension of Seoul's Line 1.

A southern extension of 6.54 km & six stations will open March 2009.
