The Zürich S-Bahn (German: S-Bahn Zürich) system is a network of rail lines within the ZVV area (geographically, within the entire canton of Zürich and minor outlying areas such as Rapperswil).

To say that the entire network went into operation in May 1990 would be misleading, for all lines were intact even before then. However, in May 1990, what did happen was that the rail lines affiliated with the ZVV became part of the of ZVV network.

The S-Bahn network is numbered, but numbering is rather spraodic, with several missing lines (e.g. S11, S20). The lines are numbered from the S1 to the S43.
