Stouffville is one of the seven train lines of the GO Transit system in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. Its southern terminus is Union Station in Toronto, and its northern terminus is in Lincolnville. There are bus connections from almost every station via Go Transit Buses, Toronto Transit Commission, and York Region Transit.

Like its sister the Barrie line, commuter service along the Stouffville line corridor was originally provided by VIA Rail. On September 7, 1982 VIA service on both routes was discontinued and replacement service, then just a single weekday run on each corridor, was started by GO Transit.^[1]

On December 13, 2007 the government of Ontario announced funding to Metrolinx for network expansion, which included $20 million to build a second track to enable all-day two-way service between Union Station and Markham.^[2] On September 2, 2008, the line's northern terminus was extended northwards from Stouffville to Lincolnville.

On 29 June 1998, GO Transit restored full service to the Lakeshore lines, and terminated service to Danforth and Scarborough on the Stouffville line—these stations were fully integrated into the Lakeshore East line route schedule.

All-day service on the Stouffville line is planned to start in Spring 2010 after a passing track was constructed between Milliken and Unionville stations.

The line beings at Union Station and follows the Lakeshore East line to Scarborough Junction, just east of Scarborough GO Station, without stopping at any stations on that line. It then branches north using the single Canadian National Railway track, originally the Toronto and Nipissing Railway. North of Unionville station, the route heads roughly north-east in the direction of the Lincolnville terminus.
