Linjat (Finnish), Linjerna (Swedish) is a neighborhood of the Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. Its name literally means "The Lines" and comes from the five parallel streets named 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Line (Ensi, Toinen, Kolmas, Neljäs and Viides linja (Finnish) / Första, Andra, Tredje, Fjärde, Femte linjen (Swedish)), which start at Hämeentie (Sw.: Tavastvägen) and run north-west, except for the much shorter Ensi linja, which starts at the southern end of Suonionkatu. The district lies to the north of Hakaniemi and Siltasaari and to the south of Alppiharju.
The boundaries of Linjat are the eastern shore of Töölönlähti Bay (west), Helsinginkatu (north), Kaarlenkatu and Viides linja, cutting Karhupuisto Park in half (east) and Hämeentie (from Viides linja to Toinen linja), Toinen linja and Porthaninrinne (south).
