Bloorview Kids Rehab is Ontario's largest children's rehabilitation facility. It is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1899, by a group of community-minded women who met in Toronto to discuss the creation of a "Home for Incurable Children".

As of 2005, the Centre provides hospital care, outpatient clinics, an integrated kindergarten school programme, assistive technology services and community outreach activities to about 6,500 children and youth with disabilities and their families each year. It is associated with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

Prior to 2006, the centre was called the Bloorview MacMillan Children's Centre.
