Ellesmere was a rapid transit station on Line 3 Scarborough of the Toronto subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was located at Ellesmere Road, between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue.[2]

Ellesmere was the least-used station on the entire TTC network. On average, only 1,850 passengers boarded trains here each day from 2006 to 2007 and only 1,678 from 2007 to 2008.[3] Part of the reason for this is that there were no bus bays or bus stops at the station; passengers would have to walk to the nearest bus stop on Ellesmere Road.[4]
