Line 21 will be a future subway line on the Shanghai Metro. It will run in a north–south direction through Pudong, connecting Gaohang in Waigaoqiao to the Disney Resort. The first phase will be about 28 km (17 mi) long with 10 stations.[1] Stations will have passing loops to allow for express and local stopping patterns.[1]

The line was announced by the Municipal government in 2016.[2][3] Previous plans in 2014 designated the Disney Resort — Guanglan Road section as Line 24.
