Oriole GO Station is a small train station on GO Transit's Richmond Hill line. It is located under the Highway 401 overpass, west of Leslie Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is about half a kilometre south of Leslie subway station on the Sheppard line of the Toronto Transit Commission.

A pedestrian walkway along the east side of tracks connects the north end of the platform to Esther Shiner Boulevard and a short walk along Old Leslie Street leads to the upper, automated entrance to the subway station. It has been proposed several times that the GO station should be moved to allow for a direct connection with the subway.

Passengers boarding TTC first, then again at the end of their GO Transit journey may use a TTC transfer for their second ride. At Oriole GO Station this applies to the Sheppard Subway and bus routes 51 Leslie, 85 Sheppard East and 115 Silver Hills.

This station serves a number of businesses in the area including IKEA North York and North York General Hospital.

The station is named for the old Canadian Northern Railway Oriole Station, built in 1905 as Duncan Station on the south side of York Mills west of Don Mills Road. The two storey station closed and abandoned as Oriole was relocated in 1978 and was finally demolished in 1987.
