Mount Pleasant is an underground light rail transit (LRT) station under construction on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system. The station will be located in North Toronto at the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton Avenue. Nearby destinations include Northern Secondary School and the Davisville Village neighbourhood. It is scheduled to open in 2021.

Uniquely in the TTC system, this underground station's main entrance will occupy the site of a former commercial building, preserving only its façade. The building is on the northwest corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton. A secondary entrance will be just east of Mount Pleasant on the north side, replacing two small commercial buildings. The main entrance of the station at 256-258 Eglinton Avenue East was the location of a former branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, in a building designed by architect Herbert Horner in 1928. The southeast corner of the building eventually became a Second Cup coffee shop. Metrolinx had the building's façade disassembled brick-by-brick, cataloged, labelled and stored for reassembly upon completion of station structure.

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