Keele Street is a north-south road in Toronto and York Region (York Regional Road 6) in Ontario, Canada. It stretches 47km, running from Bloor Street in Toronto to the Holland Marsh. South of Bloor Street, the roadway is today known as Parkside Drive, but was originally part of Keele Street. It was renamed in 1921 by the City of Toronto.
Most of Keele runs directly along a former concession road (Third Line West of Yonge Street) allowance. Keele street was named for local businessman and farmer William Conroy Keele who lived in what is West Toronto Junction or Lambton Mills area.
