St. Patrick is a subway station on Line 1 Yonge–University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located under University Avenue at Dundas Street West. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.
The station, which opened in 1963, is named for the nearby St. Patrick's Church. It is one of only two stations in the system to have a tubular shape created by the tunnel boring machine, the other such station being Queen's Park, the next station to the north.
The murder of Mariam Peters here in 1975 prompted the TTC to adopt system-wide safety measures such as the first police patrols on the subway and the installation of emergency telephones and alarms. One of the three cross passages was blocked off, as well as at Queen's Park station, to prevent it being used as a hiding spot for criminals.




Nearby landmarks



The Canadian Airman's Memorial was erected in the median of University Avenue above the station in 1984.

Station improvements


St. Patrick Station was listed on the Toronto Community Foundation's list of stations which they expressed interest in donating funds for platform level appearance improvements. The organization successfully raised funds and designed the renovations of Museum station.
As part of its Easier Access Program, the TTC added two new elevators, one from a new street level entrance to the concourse level, and a second from the concourse to the platform level. Construction started in late 2017 and renovations were fully completed by December 4, 2018. A ceremony was held on March 5, 2019, to officially celebrate St. Patrick as the 45th accessible TTC subway station.
Station enhancements also included the artwork titled Many Little Plans by artist Barbara Todd. The artwork consists of over 400 ceramic tiles and is installed in alcoves at the platform level.
