Black Creek Drive is a limited-access arterial road^[2] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A four-lane route that runs north–south, it connects Weston Road and Humber Boulevard with Highway 401 via Highway 400, the latter of which it forms a southerly extension. Black Creek Drive officially transitions into Highway 400 at the Maple Leaf Drive overpass, southeast of the Jane Street interchange. The roadway is named after the Black Creek ravine, which it parallels for most of its route. It features a maximum speed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph).

The Province of Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto sought to build the Highway 400 south extension to reach the Gardiner Expressway. They encountered public opposition to building freeways into central Toronto. As a compromise, the province constructed the route as a limited controlled-access expressway with at-grade intersections and transferred it to the municipality upon completion.^[3][4]
