Woodbine Avenue consists of three north-south road sections in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada:
York Region designates this section as an arterial road. It runs parallel to Highway 404 as York Regional Road 8.
In Toronto, the portion of Woodbine Avenue north of Eglinton Avenue to Highway 401 was removed when the Don Valley Parkway was constructed in the 1960s. Woodbine was a single lane paved concession road (third concession line laid 19,800 ft (6,000 m) east of Yonge Street from Steeles Avenue to York Mills Road and an open allowance (unopened road allowance) southwards to Lawrence Avenue East. Another section from Highway 401 to Steeles Avenue was lost when Highway 404 was built in the 1970s, although the Parclo A4 interchange with Steeles included a Y-junction modification to accommodate Woodbine traffic. Victoria Park Avenue, a major north-south arterial in the City of Toronto, terminates shortly after the intersection with Steeles, so Woodbine Avenue takes up most of the traffic.
