The Roosevelt Boulevard Subway is a proposed SEPTA Metro line that would run along Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The line has been proposed in various forms for over a century, the idea originally dating to 1913. The most recent study, conducted in 2003, envisions the service as a branch of the Broad Street Line that would draw over 124,000 daily riders and thereby divert over 83,000 car trips.
