Oro-Medonte is a township in south-central Ontario, Canada, on the northwestern shores of Lake Simcoe in Simcoe County.
The two townships of Oro and Medonte were originally incorporated on January 1, 1850. They were amalgamated, as well as Hawkstone Police Village (incorporated in 1922), on January 1, 1994, under a restructuring of Simcoe County. It is divided into lines based on the concession system implemented by the British colonial government in the mid-18th century. Currently there are 15 lines that are now streets and highway exits off Highway 11.
