The Red Line is a rapid transit line of the Doha Metro in Qatar. It runs north-south through Doha and its southern terminus of Al Wakrah and its northern terminus of Lusail, with a spur serving Hamad International Airport. It is the first line of the system, with the first segment opened on 8 May 2019.

At first, the line was only open from 8am to 11pm Sunday-Thursday. Later, it also added weekend hours of 2pm-11pm on Friday and 6am-11pm on Saturday, and also extended the weekday timings to 6am-11pm. It now runs on all days except Friday from 6am to 11pm, and from 2pm to 1am on Fridays.
