This is a list of significant roads in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:

The city is organized in a grid pattern dating back to the plan laid out by Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe in 1793. Most streets are aligned in a North-South or East-West direction. The Toronto road system is also influenced by its topography as some roads are aligned with Lake Ontario, the old Lake Iroquois shoreline or by the deep valleys that crisscross the city.

Streets notated with (**) indicate a controlled access freeway where pedestrians and bicyclists are not permitted.

East-West Roads

These roads generally run east-west with few perturbations. Streets are listed starting from south going north.

North-South Roads

These roads generally run from south-north with few perturbations. The list is organized starting in the east going west.

Contour Roads

These roads generally follow the contours of some topographical feature. They experience gentle curves as the terrain changes.
