Seoul Subway Line 3 (the Orange Line) of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway is an operation system which connects Goyang, northwestern Seoul to the city center, Gangnam, and southeastern Seoul. Construction began in 1980, and most of the current line opened (Gupabal - Yangjae; Jichuk opened in 1990) over two stages in 1985, along with sister subway Line 4. In October 1993, a second extension to the south was opened (Yangjae - Suseo), giving Seoul the current Line 3.

In 1996, the Ilsan Line (Daehwa - Jichuk), which is considered the third extension to the north was opened, and connected the city of Goyang with Seoul. Currently, Seoul's portion of Line 3 and the Ilsan part of Line 3 operate as one combined line, with trains running from one end to the other. The respective stations are operated by two different companies, though, so they are sometimes listed separately. There are 2 depots near Jichuk Station and Suseo Station, which are for both Korail and Seoul Metro.

A 3 km extension is planned to be opened in 2010,^[1] stretching from Suseo to Garak Market (Line 8) and Ogeum (Line 5). In addition, a new station will be built between Wondang and Samsong Stations, its tentative name being "Wonheung Station."
