Thornton's Corners East GO Station is a planned GO Transit train station to be built by Metrolinx in the community of Oshawa, Ontario, as part of the approved expansion of train service on the Lakeshore East line to Bowmanville.[2] The station would be located along a new single-track spur line connecting the CN rail corridor east of Oshawa GO Station to CP Rail's Belleville Subdivision farther north.[3] The station would be on the west side of Fox Street north of Laval Drive.[1]

In 2011, Metrolinx had named this station "Thornton's Corners" when its planned location was to have been west of CP Rail's GM spur;[4]: 32  by 2023, the name had been changed to "Thornton's Corners East" as the station's planned location shifted to the east of the GM spur.[5] (The GM spur is a north–south track used by CP Rail to access a GM plant south of the CN rail corridor.)
