The Toronto Rocket (TR) is the fifth and latest series of rolling stock used in the Toronto subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Owned and operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), the trains were built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to replace the last remaining H-series trains, as well as increase capacity for the Spadina subway extension to Vaughan that opened in 2017. They operate in a six-car configuration on Line 1 Yonge–University and a four-car configuration on Line 4 Sheppard. The sets are stored and maintained at the Wilson and Davisville Yards. The first six-car TR train entered passenger service on Line 1 in July 2011, and four-car TR trainsets entered service on Line 4 in May 2016.

The TR series is the newer of the two currently active series of rolling stock on the heavy-rail lines in the Toronto subway network, featuring a completely new design based on the Bombardier Movia family of trains. They are notable as the first subway trains in North America equipped with full-open gangways, which allows passengers to see and walk through the entire length of the train. They are currently the only ones in Toronto compatible with the communications-based train control (CBTC) system, which replaced the legacy fixed-block signalling system in several phases on Line 1 between 2017 and 2022 (starting with the Line 1 extension to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station, which opened on December 17, 2017) and has used only one operator since November 2022,[6][7] who plays the dual role of driving the train and of opening and closing the doors.

The trains were designated under the production name as T35A08 before the name "Toronto Rocket" was chosen through a contest open to the public.[8][9] They are jointly funded by the City of Toronto (Toronto Transportation Services), the Government of Ontario (Ministry of Transportation), and the Government of Canada (Transport Canada).
