The Shanghai Suburban Railway (Chinese: 上海市域铁路; pinyin: Shànghǎi Shìyù Tiělù; Shanghainese: Zaon6he5 Zy6yoq8 Thiq7lu6) is a regional commuter rail network in Shanghai, China, with lines radiating from and surrounding the city's central districts. The system is planned to gradually implement regional rail services across the metropolitan area, and will eventually connect with the Jiangsu Yangtze MIR and Hangzhou Greater Bay Area network in neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

On July 2, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on the issuance of the "Multi-level Rail Transit Plan in the Yangtze River Delta Region".[3] The plan proposed that by 2025, the Yangtze River Delta on the track will be basically completed. The operating mileage of arterial railways is about 17,000 kilometers, of which high-speed railways are about 8,000 kilometers, forming a three-hour inter-regional traffic circle between the Yangtze River Delta and neighboring urban agglomerations and provincial capitals. The operating mileage of intercity railways is about 1,500 kilometers, and the intercity traffic circle between neighboring big cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Ningbo and surrounding cities forms a 1-1.5 hour intercity traffic circle. The operating mileage of urban (suburban) railways is about 1,000 kilometers. The Shanghai metropolitan area and the Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Ningbo metropolitan areas form a 0.5-1 hour commuting traffic circle.
By 2035, the Yangtze River Delta will be built on high-quality modern tracks, and the Yangtze River Delta will become a network of trunk railways, inter-city railways, urban (suburban) railways, urban rail transit facilities, zero transfers in hubs, and excellent operational service quality. Rail transit is a model area for networked, integrated, intelligent, and green development of rail transit, and rail transit comprehensively leads and promotes the development of regional integration.
