Rexdale is a neighbourhood located in the north-west corner of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Rexdale-Thistletown is now referred to most often as Rexdale, also known as Etobicoke North. Etobicoke was formerly the City of Etobicoke, which merged with five other municipalities and a regional government to form the new City of Toronto in 1998. Rexdale was named after Rex Heslop and his wife Delma, the area's first residential real estate developers who built the original suburb north of Highway 401 and east of Kipling Avenue. Rexdale is bordered by Malton and Toronto Pearson International Airport in the City of Mississauga to the west, central Etobicoke to the south, the former Town of Woodbridge in the City of Vaughan to the north and the North York district of the City of Toronto to the east.

Rexdale evolved into a suburb of Toronto starting in the late 1950s by Rex Heslop. While representing many ethnicities in the early days of its evolution from small towns, farmland and golf courses into an urban community, Rexdale started with a large English and Scottish population, which reflected the overall demographics of Toronto at that time. The population of Rexdale, according to the 2006 Census, is 94,469 living in 30,238 households. The population grows at a rate comparable to surrounding communities. Rexdale has a strong industrial base with its main employment sector being office employment.

Rexdale is one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in the city of Toronto, with a large number of West Indian and Punjabi residents. There was once a large number of Italian residents, however most have moved north to Vaughan.

Rexdale is home to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Humber College, University of Guelph-Humber, Woodbine Race Track and Casino, the Woodbine Centre and Albion Mall.
