Wallingford station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. Located at Kershaw Road and Possum Hollow Road, it serves the Media/Wawa Line. In 2017, this station saw 280 boardings and 287 alightings on an average weekday. It is in Nether Providence Township.

The station was established by the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1855, when the rail line was extended to Media through Wallingford, passing and freight sidings were built at the location. The present station was built in 1890 by contractor Charles R. Kohl and Bros. While often attributed to architect Frank Furness, whose brother lived nearby, the station is based on a standard Pennsylvania Railroad plan designed by W. Bleddyn Powell. Other examples of the design were built in locations including Schuylkill Haven, Hamburg, Holmesburg Junction, Wissinoming, and Wilmerding, among others. For a time, this station also served as Wallingford's post office.
