Keelesdale, which had a working name of Keele, is an LRT station under construction on the Toronto Transit Commission's Eglinton Crosstown line. It will be located in the Silverthorn neighbourhood at the intersection of Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue, and is scheduled to open in 2020.

The primary entrance and bus loop will replace the former EMS Station 19 and a car wash at the northeast corner of the Keele/Trethewey and Eglinton intersection. A secondary entrance on the northwest corner will be adjacent to York Memorial Collegiate, with a third to the southeast in a former parking lot. The station will be served by TTC buses, including the 41 Keele route. Keelesdale station will have three entrances as well as an off-street bus loop with four bus bays.

Destinations include the York Civic Centre, Keelesdale Park and Chris Tonks Arena, York Memorial Collegiate, George Harvey Collegiate Institute, the Humber River Regional Hospital's Keele campus, and the Silverthorn neighbourhood.

In a report to the TTC Board on 23 November 2015 it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton LRT should be given unique names.

Ground-breaking ceremony was held 10 March 2016 for the start of construction on this first Eglinton Crosstown LRT station.
