Glen Riddle is a derelict train station located underneath the South Pennell Road (PA-452) overpass in Middletown Twp, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester line.
The station, and all of those west of Elwyn, was closed in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilities at Exton Station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line. Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided. Glen Riddle station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.
The station was demolished in the 1990s. Currently, the asphalt platform survives.
