List of east–west roads in Toronto

The following is a list of the eastwest expressways and arterial thoroughfares in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The city is organized in a grid pattern dating back to the plan laid out by Augustus Jones between 1793 and 1797. Most streets are aligned in the north–south or east–west direction, based on the shoreline of Lake Ontario. In other words, major northsouth roads are generally perpendicular to the Lake Ontario shoreline and major eastwest roads are generally parallel to the lake's shoreline. The Toronto road system is also influenced by its topography as some roads are aligned with the old Lake Iroquois shoreline or the deep valleys. Minor streets with documented history or etymology are listed in a separate section.

Roads are listed south to north.
