Two N Judah trains on Judah Street near 9th Avenue

N Judah train entering the eastern portal of the Sunset Tunnel

The N Judah is a Muni Metro line in San Francisco, California that mainly serves the Cole Valley and Sunset neighborhoods. It is the busiest line in the Muni Metro system. 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 N Judah remained a streetcar line due to its use of the Sunset Tunnel.

The line runs from Embarcadero Station in downtown San Francisco (under Market Street) to Ocean Beach and the Great Highway in the Sunset District. It starts in the Market Street Subway, which it shares with the five other Muni Metro lines. It exits the tunnel at Church Street and, after a brief stretch along Duboce Avenue to Duboce Park, enters the older Sunset Tunnel. This tunnel serves to avoid a hill and contains no underground stations. From the western end of the tunnel, the route goes along Carl and Irving Streets until it turns up 9th Avenue for one block and reaches Judah Street, which the N runs on for the rest of its route. On Judah between 9th Avenue and 19th Avenue the N runs on a right-of-way that is slightly raised above the surrounding street. There is a loop in the intersection at Judah, La Playa and Great Highway that the N uses to turn around.
