Erie-Torresdale Station is an elevated rapid transit stop on the Market-Frankford Line, above the intersection of Kensington and Erie Avenues in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the Juniata neighborhood. The station building is located on the northwest corner, and is the last station to run above Kensington Avenue before moving above Frankford Avenue, the second street the line is named after.

Erie Avenue becomes Torresdale Avenue after crossing Kensington Avenue, hence the two names for the station.

SEPTA bus routes at Erie-Torresdale include routes 3 and 56, both of which are former trolley lines.
