Bingham Loop is a station and turning loop at the eastern terminus of the 503 Kingston Rd streetcar lines of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It lies between Victoria Park Avenue and Bingham Avenue, just north of Kingston Road in Toronto.

Streetcars loop anticlockwise from Victoria Park Avenue and stop on the south side of the platform, while buses enter in the other direction from Bingham Avenue and stop on the north side. The island platform is covered by a one-piece 50 ft (15.2 m) long canopy.[1] A small brick building provides facilities for TTC staff. Likely as a result of Victoria Park Avenue being a longer and more well-known street than Bingham Avenue, streetcars terminating at the loop display 'Victoria Park' on their destination signs, rather than 'Bingham'.
