Line 4 of the Athens Metro is a future line that will run from to . Construction of the line was approved on 25 September 2014 and is scheduled to be completed in 2027 or 2028.[1][needs update]

Line 4 had been under consideration for many years. Its exact route was changed multiple times. One of the most famous routes was the U-shaped line from Perissos to Katehaki (which are current stations of lines 1 and 3 respectively), including a branch to Vyronas. However, the route from Alsos Veikou to Goudi was chosen, as it has the benefit of being the one passing from the densely populated areas of central Athens, like Galatsi, Exarheia, Kolonaki, Kaisariani and Zografou.[2]

In the distant future, it will possibly be extended further north to Ethniki Odos and to other important suburbs of Athens, like Marousi.
