Line S6 of the Nanjing Metro, also known as the Ning句 Intercity Railway (宁句城际轨道交通), is a rapid transit line connecting Nanjing city center with Jurong in Zhenjiang. It is designated as a suburban line within the Nanjing Metro system.

The line commences at Maqun station (马群站) in Nanjing, where it interchanges with Line 2 and Line 12, and terminates at Jurong station (句容站) in Jurong. Line S6 primarily travels in an eastward direction.

The line is characterized by a mix of underground, elevated, and at-grade sections. Its construction aimed to enhance connectivity between Nanjing and Jurong, facilitating economic and social integration between the two cities.
