The Wellesley Hospital was a teaching hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada affiliated with the University of Toronto. It was founded by Dr. Herbert Bruce as a private hospital, but became a public one in 1942.

In 1984, the Ross Tilley Regional Burn Centre was opened at the hospital, following extensive fundraising by local firefighters and others.

It merged with the nearby Central Hospital to become the Wellesley Central Hospital.

It was closed by the Ontario government on the recommendation of the Ontario Health Services Restructuring Commission and the bulk of its programs were transferred in 1998 to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.

After the hospital building was closed, the hospital corporation became the Wellesley Central Health Corporation (later known as the Wellesley Institute), which lists as its objectives "four strategic directions; development of the Wellesley Hospital lands, community based research and grants, capacity building through extensive training workshops and coalition development, and framing the urban health agenda through public policy."
