Grace Church on-the-Hill is an Anglican Church of Canada parish in Toronto, Ontario. It is featured in the novel A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and is a member of the Churches on the Hill group. It is one of only a handful of Anglican churches in Toronto to regularly celebrate Morning Prayer as the principal Sunday service.
It is located at 300 Lonsdale Road, in the Forest Hill area of Toronto.
Work on the current building, designed by Eden Smith, began in May, 1912. Opening services at the new church took place on 21 December 1913.
In 1923, the Parish Hall, with auditorium and gymnasium below, was completed, as well as the vestries on the north side of the chancel. The original Eden Smith design was completed in 1938 including a chapel on the south side. A two-story addition on the west side was built in 1955 as an Education Centre. This now houses offices, meeting rooms and a childcare centre.
