The Onedin Line is a BBC television drama series which ran from 1971 to 1980. The series was created by Cyril Abraham.

Around this central theme are the lives of his family, most notably his brother and partner, shop owner Robert, and his sister Elizabeth, giving insight into the lifestyle and customs at the time, not only at sea, but also ashore.
