Avenue is the name of a future station under construction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It will be part of the future Line 5 Eglinton, located in North Toronto on Eglinton Avenue between Avenue Road and Highbourne Road. It is scheduled to open in 2021.

The main entrance to this underground station will be located on the northwest corner of Eglinton and Avenue Road, replacing a convenience store. A second entrance, about 80m east on the north side of Eglinton, will replace two storefronts.

Destinations include the Chaplin Estates neighbourhood, Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School, the Eglinton Theatre, and Eglinton Park.

In a report to the TTC Board on November 23, 2015, it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton should be given unique names.Metrolinx initially proposed that the station be named "Avenue", for Avenue Road. Later, Metrolinx changed the proposed name to "Oriole Park". However, by January 2016, the proposed station name was changed back to "Avenue".

Unlike the cut and cover method being used to construct most of the line's underground stations, Avenue station will be built by the sequential excavation method.

The following routes would serve this station according to the report presented at the board meeting on February 25, 2016:
