Moss Park Armoury (MPA) is a Canadian Forces facility located at 130 Queen Street East, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is at the northeast corner of Jarvis Street and Queen Street East, in the neighbourhood of Moss Park. It currently hosts several units of the Primary Reserve.

It is located close to the downtown core and financial district, where many members of the Primary Reserve work full-time. It is also close to many postsecondary institutions, such as the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, and George Brown College.

The Armoury is within short walking distance of the Queen subway station. It is also accessible by the 501 Queen and 502 Downtowner streetcar routes.

As a prominent military structure in downtown Toronto, it has been the site of a number of anti-war protests.[1]
