This article is about the San Francisco Railway line. For the band, see J Church (band)

The J Church is a Muni Metro line in San Francisco, California mainly serving the Noe Valley and Balboa Park neighborhoods. It was one of San Francisco's streetcar lines in the early 20th century, and was converted to modern light rail operation with the creation of the Muni Metro system in the late 1970s. While many streetcar lines were converted to bus lines after World War II, the J Church remained a streetcar line due to the private right-of-way it uses between 18th Street and 22nd Street.
