The Toronto Railway Museum is a railway museum that is currently located at the former John Street Roundhouse in Toronto, Ontario, Canada as part of the Roundhouse Park.

The John Street Roundhouse was built in 1929 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). It was used to house and repair its large fleet of passenger locomotives travelling through Union Station. It was last used in 1986 and was declared a National Historic Site in 1990.

The Toronto Railway Historical Association was founded in 2001 and opened the museum to the public in 2010. It is the home of several persevered locomotives and rolling stock from throughout Toronto's rich rail history.
