Delran Township is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 17,882,[9][10] an increase of 986 (+5.8%) from the 2010 census count of 16,896,[19][20] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,360 (+8.8%) from the 15,536 counted in the 2000 census.[21] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[22]

Delran Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 12, 1880, from portions of Cinnaminson Township. Portions of the township were taken to create Riverside Township on February 20, 1895.[23]

The township's name is a portmanteau of the names of the two waterways that have their confluence here: the Delaware River and Rancocas Creek.[24][25]
