Darby is a station along the SEPTA Wilmington/Newark Line and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor in Darby, Pennsylvania. It serves SEPTA's Wilmington/Newark Regional Rail Line; Amtrak does not stop here. SEPTA describes the station's location as 4th Street and "Colwyn Avenue" (instead of the correct Colwyn Street), but the only access to the station is from 5th and Pine Streets or via staircase up an embankment from 4th Street's dead end at Pine Street.

The station sits just southeast from the Darby Transportation Center, a SEPTA bus and trolley terminal that is the terminus of Routes 11 and 13 of the SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Lines. There are no connections between the two stations.

Darby once had two other railroad stations. One, owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (now the Philadelphia Subdivision of CSX), sat at Main and Sixth Streets,^[1] where the SEPTA Route 11 trolley crosses today. The other, owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, stood where the current station stands, and later across the tracks.^[2]
