Promenade Terminal is a York Region Transit and Viva terminal in York Region, Ontario, Canada. It is located in a fenced-off area of the parking lot at 1 Promenade Circle, at the intersection of North Promenade and Centre Street in Vaughan, Ontario, one block west of Bathurst Street and Centre Street. The City of Vaughan currently owns the property which is leased to York Region for a nominal sum, with the responsibility for public transit now belonging to the Region[1] The Promenade Terminal has service connecting to Finch and Sheppard West subway stations.[2]

Unlike some other transit stations colocated with shopping malls, such as Scarborough Centre, there is no direct pedestrian access between the Promenade shopping mall and the Promenade Terminal.

In the summer of 2005, Promenade Terminal was temporarily closed so that renovations could be made. Bus stops were temporarily moved just beyond the station to North Promenade and Centre Street. Reconstruction of the terminal included newly cemented platforms, modern and lit bus shelters, new and brighter lighting, and the installation of a Viva OneRide ticket machine. The project was completed over the period of one month with the station reopening in August 2005. More recently, a Viva multiRide machine has been added in the terminal, to go along with the oneRide machine.
