Gareth Southgate's side looked to be going into extra time for the third successive game after Harry Kane's first-half penalty cancelled out Xavi Simons’ opener.
But former Bee Ollie Watkins, with 89 minutes and 59 seconds on the stadium clock, struck hard and low across the face of goal and into the far corner to spark wild scenes of celebration among the Three Lions fans in Dortmund.
It was heartbreak for the Netherlands, who had Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken among their substitutes.
Toney was unused against the Netherlands, but the Brentford striker has played his part in England’s route to the final in Berlin.
Toney laid on the assist for Kane's match-winning header against Slovakia in the round of 16 and rolled home a trademark penalty in the shootout victory over Switzerland in the quarter-final.
Sunday’s final against Spain (8pm kick-off) will be broadcast live in the UK on BBC and ITV.
