Croydon Station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station at Bristol Pike and Cedar Avenue in Croydon, Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, 19.9 miles from upper level 30th St Station.

The station is in zone 4 on the SEPTA Trenton Line, on the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. In 2004, this station saw 293 boardings on an average weekday. Amtrak does not stop at this station. It was scheduled for renovation in Spring 2009, including an expanded parking lot, covered windscreen shelters, new lighting and raised platforms. Talks of a "super station" were active in 2007–2008 but have not been revisited.

Despite the failed proposal to convert Croydon into a super station, Croydon recently underwent a complete upgrade due to infrastructure funding under the recovery act. The two green shelters have been torn down and new raised handicapped accessible platforms have been added, new parking lots have been paved, new lighting has been erected and a new underpass walkway has been added. The station was completed in the fall of 2011, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on October 28, 2011.
