The East line (Chinese: 澳氹東線, Portuguese: Linha Leste) is a line of the Macau Light Rapid Transit currently under construction. The East line is planned to run entirely underground, constructed with a tunnel-boring machine^[1] ,excluding the section between ES6 station (Zone E1 of New Area station) and Taipa Ferry Terminal station The line will provide a through service from the existing terminus of the Taipa line at Taipa Ferry Terminal, and traverse Zone E1 of the Macau New Urban Zone, stopping in the centre of the zone. It will then cross under the Praia Grande to the southern end of New Urban Zone A. The track will run under the central greenway of zone A, stopping at 3 stations there. Finally, it will run underwater, along the coast of the Macau peninsula, stopping at stations at Areia Preta and Portas do Cerco.^[2] The line will be 7.8 km long.^[3]

Construction started in 2023 by a joint venture led by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation^[4] and the line is expected to be complete by 2028.^[5]

A westward extension of the East Line, parallel to the West Line section of Macau LRT, is proposed to extend the Border Gate station to Ilha Verde station, planned to be located at the plaza nearby the Qingmao Port.^[6]
