Mount Pleasant^[2] is a future metro station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It will be a stop on the future Line 5 Eglinton on the Toronto subway system.^[3] It will be located in North Toronto at the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton Avenue. It is scheduled to open in 2020.

Uniquely in the TTC system, this underground station's main entrance will occupy a former commercial building while retaining its existing exterior.^[1] The building is on the northwest corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton. A secondary entrance will be just east of Mount Pleasant on the north side, replacing two small commercial buildings. A vent shaft will issue from the station just behind Eglinton Public School by Brownlow Avenue.

Destinations include Northern Secondary School, and the Davisville Village neighbourhood.

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.^[2]

TTC staff evaluated the initial report and the proposed names and provided feedback and recommendations. A primary TTC concern was to avoid replication and redundancy with existing TTC station names. The proposed names are unique and are not likely to be confused with existing station names. Check date values in: |access-date= (help)
