Keele is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 1733 Bloor Street West at Keele Street/Parkside Drive. It was opened in 1966. The station was the western terminus of the line until 1968.

Just west of Keele Street, the line emerges from a hillside, changing directly from tunnel to an elevated alignment, then enters the station. The fully enclosed station crosses over both Keele Street and a parallel side street named Indian Grove.

Just east of the station, the line emerges onto an open bridge. It then descends to ground level to run beside the small (and no longer actively used) Vincent or Keele train yard, and after this, descends into tunnel.

Keele along with Dundas West were considered to be potential northwestern terminal station in Phase Two of the formerly planned Downtown Relief Line.

When the Keele station was opened in 1966, as the western terminus of the Bloor-Danforth line, the Bloor streetcar service was dramatically reduced. The Bloor streetcar now travelled west from the Keele station's Indian Grove platform to Jane Street. On May 11, 1968, the Bloor streetcar was eliminated when the subway line was extended from Keele to Islington Avenue.cite web

] During those two years, streetcars looped at the east end of the station on Indian Grove. [http://transit.toronto.on.ca/archives/maps/guide1966f.gif] To connect the subway platform with the streetcar loop, a moving walkway was installed between the eastbound subway platform and what is now the parking lot entrance. The walkway is now sealed off.

Today, no streetcars serve Keele Station. Buses 41 KEELE, 80 QUEENSWAY and 89 WESTON serve the bus loop off Keele Street.
