The Kada Line (加太線, Kada-sen) is a railway line in Wakayama Prefecture owned by Nankai Electric Railway. This line connects to the Nankai Main Line. In November 2014, it began to be referred to by the nickname Kada Sakana Line (加太さかな線).

The Kada Light Railway Co. opened the line in 1912, electrifying it at 1500 VDC in 1930.

The company merged with Nankai in 1942, and freight services ceased in 1984.
