Bryn Athyn is an abandoned train station located on Fetters Mill Road in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, not far from the Pennypack Creek. The station, built in 1902, was a stop on the Reading Railroad's Newtown Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R8 Newtown Line. The station, and all of those north of Fox Chase, was closed in February 1983, due to SEPTA’s desire for all-electric rail operations (electrification ends at the Fox Chase station). Service in the diesel-only territory north of Fox Chase was "temporarily suspended" at that time, and the Bryn Athyn station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.

The building is now used as a post office and a community building. The former station retains its SEPTA signage that were in place when the station closed in 1983.
