St. Clair is a station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its address is 1441 Yonge Street, at the intersection with St. Clair Avenue East, but its street entrances are on St. Clair and on Pleasant Boulevard. The station's site has no frontage on Yonge. The station was opened in 1954 as part of the original Yonge Street subway.
Nearby landmarks include the David A. Balfour Park (Vale of Avoca section of Rosedale ravine), St. Michael's Cemetery, Deer Park, Moore Park, Upper Canada College, and Forest Hill.
North of the station, the tunnel jogs left to cross to the west side of Yonge Street. Then the line runs in an open cut for some 1.3 kilometres, initially between Yonge Street and the Davisville Yard, the TTC's original subway yard.
The station will become fully accessible by the end of 2007.
