Vincent Yard (also referred to as Keele Yard) is a rail yard on the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC's) Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway system.

Vincent Yard is located between Dundas West and Keele stations. It is named after Vincent Street, a short street that used to run east from Dundas Street, north of Bloor Street. The street has since been replaced with The Crossways apartment building complex.

Vincent Yard, opened in 1966, historically supplemented Greenwood Yard and stored trains for Line 2 Bloor–Danforth and Line 1 Yonge–University subways. The trains would be given some minor maintenance and have their interiors cleaned. This continued until the late 1970s, when Wilson Yard was opened and all excess trains could be stored there. From that point on, it was underused, and would only store occasional and retired subway cars. Vincent Yard fell into poor condition after years of inactivity. However, the TTC began rehabilitation work in August 2014 to place it back in service.
