The Don Valley Parkway (often referred to as the "DVP") is a controlled-access highway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, so named because it runs through the Don River Valley.

Construction of the DVP was completed in the early 1960s at a time when Toronto had a much smaller population. Today, the number of cars using the DVP greatly exceeds its capacity, leading to frequent traffic jams. This has earned the DVP its other nickname, "the Don Valley Parking Lot".

The DVP is spanned by the Bloor Street Viaduct, a bridge which until recently was the site of frequent suicides.
