Avenue is an LRT station under construction on the Toronto Transit Commission's Eglinton Crosstown line. It will be located in North Toronto under Eglinton Avenue between Avenue Road and Highbourne Road. It is scheduled to open in 2020.

The main entrance to this underground station will be located on the northwest corner of Eglinton and Avenue Road, replacing a convenience store. A second entrance, about 80m east on the north side of Eglinton, will replace two storefronts.

Destinations include the Chaplin Estates neighbourhood, Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School, the Eglinton Theatre, and Eglinton Park.

In a report to the TTC Board on 23 November 2015 it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton LRT should be given unique names. As a result, Metrolinx proposes to change this station's name to Oriole Park.

Unlike the cut and cover method being used to construct most of the line's underground stations, Avenue will be built by the sequential excavation method.
