The Davisville Subway Yard is a rail yard on the Toronto Transit Commission's Yonge subway line.

The yard is located adjoining the Davisville Station, between Eglinton and St. Clair Stations. When the subway line first opened in 1954, this was the only yard on the subway system, as there was only service between Union and Eglinton stations. The yard is next to the TTC headquarters at 1900 Yonge Street. This yard now houses all the trains that service the Sheppard line.

Rolling stock

Davisville Yard is home to a small portion of the TTC's revenue rolling stock and some of the Commission's work cars. Approximately 50 H5 and T1 subway cars are based at Davisville, although for maintenance record purposes Davisville has no cars allocated to it. Due to the track configuration of the yard, the facility is not able to accommodate most the TTC's new Toronto Rocket subway cars for the time being, which instead are stored primarily at its larger Wilson Subway Yard complex.
