Christie is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 726 Bloor Street West at Christie Street/Grace Street. It was opened in 1966. Nearby landmarks include Christie Pits Park and LinuxCaffe. The 126 Christie bus route serves the station.
The station was damaged in 1976 when a fire was set on board a lightly loaded late-evening train. Nobody was hurt, but the train was destroyed. As well, the station's tiling took some damage and was replaced with a different color (red instead of green) due to availability.
