Corktown Station will be one of the stations on Toronto's new Ontario Line. It will be on King Street, between Berkeley and Parliament streets.

It will be an underground station, with tunnels entering it at a depth of approximately 35 metres.

Riders will be able to transfer to the 504 King streetcar, the Toronto Transit Commission's surface route with the highest ridership.

The station itself will be built using the cut and cover construction technique. The launch shaft for lowering the tunnel boring machines will be excavated at Corktown Station. A five acre parcel was set aside for the construction of the station, with the southernmost three acres being used for administration and marshalling equipment. When the route construction is complete there are plans to build five high-rise condominiums on the site.

The announcement of the station has triggered redevelopment.
