69th Street Terminal is a SEPTA terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. It is the base of Philadelphia's EL the Market-Frankford Line .

SEPTA runs the following lines out of the 69th Street Terminal:

• • Market-Frankford Line - subway and elevated (69th Street is the western terminus of the line)
  • Bus Routes 21, 30, and 65.
  • Norristown High Speed Line (Route 100) - interurban rapid transit
  • Media and Sharon Hill Trolley Lines (Routes 101 and 102)
  • Bus routes 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 116, 120, and 123 serving Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester Counties.

The 69th Street Terminal also includes SEPTA sales offices, stores, eateries, and a post office. The immediate portion of 69th Street surrounding the terminal is very popular with area residents, housing numerous bars, restaurants, shops, and the Tower Theater concert venue. A parking lot is adjacent, with street parking, both metered and unmetered, throughout the terminal's neighborhood.

The Norristown High-Speed Line runs entirely on its own right-of-way from the terminal to the northwestern terminus at the Norristown Transportation Center. The Media and Sharon Hill trolley lines run southwest from the terminal in the median of Terminal Square and then on a separate right-of-way after the Fairfield Avenue stop. A former trolley line that once carried SEPTA Trolley Routes 103 and 104 runs along the median of Pennsylvania Route 3 as far west as North Keystone Avenue, where the tracks abruptly end.

As far as the SEPTA heavy rail system is concerned, the 69th Street Terminal is one of two stations located outside Philadelphia proper (the other being Millbourne).

The 69th Street Terminal celebrated its 100th anniversary in May 2008.
