Davisville is a station on the Yonge–University–Spadina line of the subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 1900 Yonge Street at Chaplin Crescent/Davisville Avenue. It was opened in 1954.

It is an open-air station below street level, with separate canopies over each platform.

Subway infrastructure in the vicinity

The northbound (right) and southbound (left) platforms, with a Toronto Rocket on the third track. Chaplin Crescent crosses on the bridge above the station.

The station is constructed above gound and adjacent to the Davisville Subway Yard, which is visible from the trains and platforms. The station has a unique semi-active third platform, on the yard side - actually referred to as the Davisville Buildup - which can be used by trains entering or leaving the yard on service or as an alternate route if one of the running lines is blocked.

The line continues in open cut in both directions: north as far as the Berwick Portal, immediately before Eglinton station; and south as far as the Muir Portal, roughly halfway to St. Clair station, from where it continues in tunnel.

Nearby landmarks

The W.C. McBrien Building, above the station, houses the TTC's central offices. Bus platforms are visible on the ground floor

Nearby landmarks include the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the Upper Canada College campus, and the TTC's main administrative office building, the Wm. C. McBrien Building. The station's bus platforms are under the western half of the building at street level, and the open-air northbound subway platform abuts against the building's west wall.

The former Canadian National Railways Belt Line Railway railway corridor crosses over the subway tracks south of the station. It has been converted into a pedestrian trail, officially called the Kay Gardner Beltline Park.
