Morningside Avenue is a north-south street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and it is located in the district of Scarborough.
The street starts at Guildwood Parkway, near Lake Ontario to the south, and travels along the former Lot 10 line northwards through the Highland Creek valley, to Finch Avenue. North of the valley, where the street once ended, it was named "Littles Road" after an early family in the area. Following the development of the Malvern area, Littles Road was renamed into this community.
There are plans to extend through the Brookside and Morningside Heights neighbourhoods to Steeles Avenue and beyond as the Markham Bypass. This would eliminate an infamously low 3.7 m (12.1 ft), narrow, one-lane railroad underpass at the northern end, dating back to when it was a rural road, where four lanes of traffic narrow to one.
A second Morningside Avenue exists in Toronto, in the formerly independent town of Swansea. It is a minor residential road which runs from a cul-de-sac west of the South Kingsway in the west to Ellis Park Road in the east, on the shore of Grenadier Pond.
