A graph $G$ is {\it $n$-existentially closed} if, for all disjoint sets of vertices $A$ and $B$ with $|A\cup B|=n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A\cup B$ adjacent to each vertex of $A$ and to no vertex of $B$. In this paper, we investigate $n$-existentially closed line graphs. In particular, we present necessary conditions for the existence of such graphs as well as constructions for finding infinite families of such graphs. We also prove that there are exactly two $2$-existentially closed planar line graphs. We then consider the existential closure of the line graphs of hypergraphs and present constructions for $2$-existentially closed line graphs of hypergraphs.
