The '''Gunsan Hwamul (Cargo) Line''' ({{Korean|hangul=군산화물선}}) is an abandoned cargo railway line serving [[North Jeolla]] Province in [[South Korea]].  Before January 1, 2008, this line was called '''Gunsan Line''' which connected the major railway junction of [[Iksan]] (on the [[Honam Line]]) to the city of [[Gunsan]].

As of January 2008, New connecting line between Janghang ([[Janghang Line]]) and Daeya opened. [[Iksan station|Iksan]] – [[Daeya station|Daeya]] was included into [[Janghang Line]],new [[Gunsan station]] opened, old Gunsan Station was renamed Gunsan Freight Station,  passenger transportation between Daeya Station and Gunsan Freight Station was stopped and the line was renamed to Gunsan Hwamul (Cargo) Line.

As of December 2020, new connecting line ([[Gunsan Port Line]]) between [[Janghang Line]], [[Okgu Line]] and [[Gunsan Port]] opened. Therefore Gunsan Hwamul Line is abandoned.
