Template:Infobox TTC station Osgoode is a station on the University line of the subway/RT system in Toronto, Canada.

Osgoode Station is located at 250 University Avenue at Queen Street West. It opened in 1963, and is named for the nearby Osgoode Hall. Other nearby landmarks include the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, Toronto City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square, and the United States consulate.

When Osgoode station was built, some utility lines were relocated away from the station to allow for a future Lower Osgoode station on the projected but never-built Queen Street subway, but unlike at Lower Queen, no actual construction took place.

A current proposal to revamp the interior aesthetics of stations on the University line would see Osgoode station renamed Osgoode-Opera and decorated to reflect the opera house, which is located at the intersection and which opened in 2006.
