The Jura Foot Line (French: ligne du Pied-du-Jura, German: Jurafusslinie) or Jura South Foot Line, is a railway line in Switzerland. It runs from Olten along the foot of the southern Jura range through Solothurn, Grenchen, Biel/Bienne, Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains and Morges to Lausanne. It is one of two routes used by intercity trains between Geneva and Zürich. The other is the Midland line (German: Mittellandlinie) which connects Olten via Langenthal, Burgdorf, Bern, Fribourg, Lausanne to Morges. The line was built by five railway companies, which after several mergers were absorbed into the Swiss Federal Railways in 1903.
The line is electrified at 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC and is two track almost throughout. The sole remaining single section, south of Twann station and north of Neuveville, is the location of the new Ligerz Tunnel. This is due to open at the end of 2026 and will complete the double-tracking of the line.
The southern part of the line forms part of the Lausanne–Geneva railway.
