The CPR Vaughan Intermodal facility is an intermodal rail-truck terminal serving the Greater Toronto Area from a property adjacent to the Canadian Pacific Railway transcontinental main line on the Mactier Subdivision in Vaughan, Ontario.

Operated by CP Rail Intermodal Freight Systems, the facility opened in 1991 on 770 acres (3.1 km2) along Peel Regional Road 50 between Rutherford Road and Major Mackenzie Drive. It underwent expansion in 2001 and handles 700,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of cargo annually using four electric gantry cranes; it initially handled only 110,000 TEU annually.[1]

Tenants on the site include:
