The {{nihongo|'''Shinetsu main line'''({{lang-ja|信越本線}}, {{IPA-ja|Shin'etsu-honsen}}) is a railway line, consisting of three geographically separated sections, operated by the [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East) in [[Japan]]. It was originally one continuous line connecting {{STN|Takasaki}} and {{STN|Niigata}} via {{STN|Nagano}}; however, with the opening of the [[Hokuriku Shinkansen|Hokuriku shinkansen]], some sections were transferred to the [[Public–private partnership#Japan|third-sector]] railway companies or abandoned.
 
The name of the line refers to the old names for Nagano and Niigata prefectures, [[Shinano Province|Shinano]] ('''信'''濃) and [[Echigo Province|Echigo]] ('''越'''後).
