The Ishinomaki Line (石巻線, Ishinomaki-sen?) is a rail line in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Part of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) system, it runs from Kogota Station in Misato to Onagawa Station in Onagawa, acting as a spur line from the Tōhoku Main Line to the central coast of Miyagi Prefecture. It connects with the Rikuu East Line and Tōhoku Main Line at Kogota Station, the Kesennuma Line at Maeyachi Station and the Senseki Line at Ishinomaki Station, both in Ishinomaki, Miyagi. The line was damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
