Renforth Gateway is a planned GO Transit bus station[1] at Eglinton Avenue and Renforth Drive in northeastern Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. A parcel of land formerly owned by the City of Toronto, and used as a TTC bus loop, has been incorporated into the site.[2] It is located at the eastern end of the Mississauga Transitway close to the interchange between Highway 401 and Highway 427.

Renforth Gateway has been identified by Metrolinx as a transportation mobility hub, which will integrate rapid transit and local bus service.[3] Construction of the station is planned to begin in 2014 with the entire project expected to be complete in 2016.[4]

Initial service will consist of bus rapid transit on the Mississauga Transitway, local MiWay and Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus routes, GO Transit express routes on the Highway 401/Highway 407 corridor and an express connection to Kipling subway station via Highway 427.[5][1] Land has been preserved for future dedicated bus lanes to Toronto Pearson International Airport[6] and a possible extension of the Eglinton Crosstown line.[7]
