Wynford is a surface light rail transit (LRT) stop to be constructed on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system. It will be located in the Flemingdon Park neighbourhood at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Wynford Drive just east of the Don Valley Parkway.[2] It is scheduled to open in 2021.

The stop will be located in the middle of Eglinton Avenue East, just west of the bridge over Wynford Drive. The stop will have parallel side platforms accessible by a signalized pedestrian crosswalk across Eglinton Avenue at the east end of the platforms. In addition to the existing stairs from Wynford Drive, there will be wheelchair-accessible pedestrian walkways along the curved ramps connecting eastbound Eglinton Avenue to Wynford Drive, and from Wynford Drive to Eglinton Avenue westbound.[2][3]
