69th Street Terminal is a SEPTA terminal in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. It is the base of the Suburban Transit Division.

SEPTA runs the following lines out of the 69th Street Terminal:

• City Transit Division
  • Market-Frankford Line - subway and elevated
  • Bus Routes 21, 30, and 65.
• Suburban Transit Division
  • Norristown High Speed Line (Route 100) - interurban rapid transit
  • Media and Sharon Hill Lines (Routes 101 and 102)
  • Bus routes 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 116, 120, and 123 serving Philadelphia County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Chester County.

The 69th Street Terminal also includes SEPTA sales offices, stores, eateries, and a post office. The immediate portion of 69th Street surrounding the terminal is very popular with area residents, housing numerous bars, restaurants, shops, and the Tower Theater concert venue.

The Norristown High-Speed Line runs entirley on its own right-of-way from the terminal to the northwestern terminus at the Norristown Transportation Center. The Media and Sharon Hill trolley lines run southwest from the terminal in the median of Terminal Square and then on a separate right-of-way after the Fairfield Avenue stop. A former trolley line that once carried SEPTA Trolley Routes 103 and 104 runs along the median of Pennsylvania Route 3 as far west as North Keystone Avenue, where the tracks abruptly end.

As far as the SEPTA heavy rail system is concerned, the 69th Street Terminal (alongside the Millbourne) is one of two stations located outside Philadelphia proper.

The 69th Street Terminal celebrates its 100th anniversary in May 2008.
