The Tōkyū Meguro Line (東急目黒線, Tōkyū-Meguro-sen) is a railway line operated by Japanese private railway company Tokyu Corporation. As a railway line, the name is for the section between Meguro and Den-en-chōfu in southwest Tokyo, but nearly all trains run to Hiyoshi on a quad-tracked section of the Tōyoko Line in Yokohama, Kanagawa. Additionally, the Meguro line interoperates with the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line beyond Meguro.

1923:
- March 11: The line opens as the Meguro Line between Meguro and Maruko (now Numabe) (on the current Tamagawa Line).^[2]
- October: Meguro-Fudōmae station is renamed to Fudōmae station.
- November 1: The line is extended from Maruko to Kamata, and the line is renamed to the Mekama line.^[2]
1924, June 1: Koyama becomes Musashi-Koyama.^[1]
1926, January 1: Chōfu and Tamagawa stations are renamed to Den-en-Chōfu and Maruko-Tamagawa stations respectively.^[1]
1928, August 1: Nishi-Koyama station opens.
1931, January 1: Maruko-Tamagawa station is renamed again to Tamagawa-en-mae station.^[1]
1977, December 16: Tamagawa-en-mae station is renamed yet again to Tamagawa-en station.^[1]
1994, November 27: Den-en-Chōfu station moves underground.
1997:
- June 27: Ōokayama station moves underground.
- July 27: Meguro station moves underground.
1999, October 10: Fudōmae station is elevated.
2000:
- August 6: Service is split into two services, Meguro - Musashi-Kosugi and Tamagawa - Kamata. Tamagawa-en station is renamed to Tamagawa station^[1] and one-man operation begins.^[3]
- September 26: Through service begins with the Tokyo Metro Namboku and Toei Mita Lines.^[3]
2001, March 28: Through service begins with the Saitama Rapid Railway line via the Namboku line.^[3]
2006:
- July 2: As part of a grade separation project between Fudōmae and Senzoku, Musashi-Koyama and Nishi-Koyama stations move underground.^[3]
- September 25: Express service commences.^[3]
2008 June 22: Service extended to Hiyoshi.^[3]
2022 April: Eight-car trains commence operation on the line.^[4] Platforms on Meguro Line were lengthened in order to accommodate 8-car trainsets and allow through services with Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line.^[4]
2023 March 18: The through service onto the Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line began service.^[5] Since then, most express trains no longer terminate at Hiyoshi but instead either Shin-yokohama, Nishiya, Shōnandai, Yamato or Ebina. The majority of local trains still terminate at Hiyoshi.^[6]
