Bellwoods was a provincial riding in Ontario, Canada in the old City of Toronto's west-end. It was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1926 until 1987, when it was abolished and redistributed into the Dovercourt, and Fort York districts.
The district was named after Trinity Bellwoods Park, where the original Trinity College campus was located. It was created in 1926 from the Toronto Southwest and Toronto Northwest ridings. The boundaries varied over its 61-years, with its most northern boundary being the city limits just north of St. Clair Avenue. The eastern boundary went as far as Bathurst Street, and its western boundary eventually ended at Dovercourt Road. Bellwoods was demographically a mainly working class district, with a significant immigrant population. As of 2011, the area that Bellwoods represented is divided among the current Davenport, St. Paul's and Trinity—Spadina electoral districts.
