Donlands is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 990 Danforth Avenue at Donlands Avenue. It was opened in 1966. The station originally had only a small structure covering the stairs and escalator to/from the mezzanine, but was expanded to the present configuration in the early 1980s. The fare-collection area was relocated from the mezzanine level to street level at that time.
The bus routes that serve Donlands are the 83 Jones and the 56 Leaside.
Between Donlands and Greenwood stations is a full grade-separated, double-track, underground wye junction, allowing trains from either direction to access the TTC's Greenwood Yard, their largest subway yard, which is on the surface south of Danforth Avenue.
