The East Suffolk Line is a railway line from Ipswich to Lowestoft in Suffolk.

The first part of the line was opened in 1854, from Beccles to Halesworth. It continued north to Haddiscoe , now on the Wherry Lines. The line was taken south to Ipswich and north to Great Yarmouth in 1859. In 1959 the line north of Beccles was closed and services rerouted via Oulton Broad South to Lowestoft.

Passenger services are operated by 'One' Railway, who replaced the previous franchise Anglia Railways in April 2004. Some freight services are also operated over the line, including EWS-hauled timber traffic, and nuclear flask trains to Leiston (for Sizewell nuclear power station) operated by Direct Rail Services.
