Preceding station   TTC   Following station Jane toward Kipling Bloor–Danforth High Park toward Kennedy

Runnymede is a subway station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located just north of Bloor Street West, spanning the block east of Runnymede Road to Kennedy Avenue, with bus platforms at the surface level and entrances at both ends. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.

The station opened in 1968 as part of the westerly extension of the subway line from Keele to Islington Station.

Extensive rehabilitation of the concrete station structure was undertaken in 2010. This work involved replacing the concrete slab and columns of the bus platform, and the bus driveway structural paving.

The station is barrier free from the street to the bus platforms. Installation of three elevators to make the station fully accessible is scheduled to commence in 2015. The construction is expected to take two years to complete.

The line is tunneled westward toward Jane Station. About halfway east towards High Park Station, just after at Kennedy Park Road, the line comes to the surface at the Clendenan Portal and crosses over Clendenan Avenue.

Nearby landmarks include the former Runnymede Theatre in Bloor West Village, the Runnymede branch of the Toronto Public Library, Runnymede Junior & Senior Public School, Western Technical-Commercial School, and Runnymede United Church.

Since the bus platform is located outside the fare-paid area, a paper transfer is required to connect to surface routes.
