The 506 Carlton is a streetcar line run by the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto, Canada. It runs from Main Street Station to High Park. It runs from the eastern terminus of Main Street Station south to Gerrard Street East. It then turns west onto Gerrard St. E. and runs to Parliament Street where it turns north to Carlton Street. The streetcar goes west on Carlton, which turns into College Street at Yonge Street. There, it passes College subway station. Continuing west, it passes Queen's Park subway station as it makes its way to the end of College Street at Dundas Street West. It then runs west on Dundas Street West to Howard Park Avenue, which it follows into its western terminus in High Park.

On a daily basis, some eastbound cars may short turn at Coxwell Avenue, and head southbound to loop at Queen St. and Coxwell Avenue.

Streetcar service is provided 24 hours per day on most portions of the route. The late night trips run as the 306 Carlton, which runs along the same route from the eastern terminus of Main Street Station to Dundas Street West. From there, it continues west along Dundas Street West to Dundas West Station.
