The Frankford Branch was a railway line located in the city of Philadelphia in the United States. Its opening in 1894 provided residents of the Frankford neighborhood with direct access to the Reading Terminal. It was part of the Reading system until its 1976 conveyance to Conrail. Conrail abandoned the branch in the 1990s.
