Beijing–Binhai intercity railway (Jingbin intercity railway), also known as the Second Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway, is a new high-speed railway located between the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin. It will run from Beijing Sub-Center railway station to Binhai West railway station in Binhai New Area of Tianjin. The first half of this project will be built as part of the Beijing–Tangshan intercity railway. From onwards the line will branch south along new trackage to Tianjin.
Together with the Beijing–Tangshan intercity railway, this railway forms part of a proposed regional 4 North-South lines, 4 East-West lines that together form a network for fast commuter services across the densely populated Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei megalopolis.
