College Street is a principal arterial thoroughfare in downtown Toronto, Canada, connecting former streetcar suburbs in the west with the city centre.

The street is home to an ethnically diverse population in the western residential reaches, and institutions like the Ontario Legislature and the University of Toronto in the downtown core.

The first section built was to the west of Spadina Avenue, through the estate of Robert Baldwin, who laid out the route.

The path to the west of Manning Avenue was blocked by William Wakefield, who owned the land beyond and was holding out for a high sale price.

[3] After the suburb of Brockton was annexed in the 1880s, the final section of College Street was built to Lansdowne Avenue in 1886.

A precursor to an extended College Street, called Grenadier Road, was laid out in the Roncesvalles district, and on the west side of High Park in Swansea (now Morningside) as well as a section in Etobicoke (now Berry Road), but connections to those streets were never made.

[4] The intersection at Yonge Street is dominated by the landmark College Park complex, which once housed an Eaton's department store.

West of Bathurst Street, College is the heart of Toronto's Little Italy and is dotted with restaurants and trendy bars.
