Churchville station is a former train station in Churchville, Pennsylvania. Still owned by SEPTA and located on Knowles Avenue and Bustleton Pike, it is now a leased private residence.

The station was built in 1892, and served as a stop on the Reading Railroad's Newtown Line. It replaced another structure built in 1878. It was later taken over by SEPTA and served as a stop on the Fox Chase/Newtown Line.
