The Blue Line (Line 3 & Line 4) is a rapid transit metro line of the Delhi Metro in Delhi, India. Predominantly elevated, it is the longest line (by total length) on the network and consists of a Main Line (Line 3) with 50 stations from Noida Electronic City to Dwarka Sector 21, spanning a length of 56.11 kilometres (34.87 miles), and a Branch Line (Line 4) consisting of 8 stations from Vaishali to Yamuna Bank, with a length of 8.51 kilometres (5.29 miles).

The Main Line (Line 3) held the title of the longest line in the Delhi Metro network until August 6, 2021, when the inauguration of the unfinished section between Mayur Vihar Pocket 1 and Trilokpuri Sanjay Lake stations on the Pink Line extended it to a 59 km (36.66 mi)-long corridor, surpassing Line 3.
