'Østensjøbanen' is a subway line on the Oslo T-bane which runs between downtown Oslo and Mortensrud in the southeast. The line departs from Furusetbanen at Hellerud, then travels south through neighborhoods in the boroughs of Østensjø and Bøler.
The line was opened as a tram line to Oppsal in 1926 and extended to Bøler in 1958, and converted to subway and extended to Skullerud in 1967. To serve neighborhoods further south, the line was extended to Mortensrud in 1998.
Østensjøbanen is served by Line 3, which runs through downtown and travels on Sognsvannsbanen in the west. Like all other subway lines on the east side of Oslo, Østensjøbanen is operated on a third rail system.
