40th Street station is an underground station on the Market-Frankford Line, below the intersection of 40th Street and Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the border between the Spruce Hill and Powelton Village neighborhoods in the University City District of West Philadelphia.

SEPTA bus routes at 40th Street include 30, 40 and the LUCY Green Route. When the trolley tunnel is closed, SEPTA Subway-Surface Trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36 are diverted to the intersection of 40th Street and Market Street, where travelers can access Center City through the Market Street Subway. Immediately west of the station, the trains travel above ground onto the Market Street Elevated line.

40th Street station was originally built in 1956 by the Philadelphia Transportation Company as a replacement for the original Market Street Elevated station which opened in 1907. It serves a major shopping corridor of West Philadelphia. Additionally, the campus of the University of Pennsylvania lies three blocks south of the station.
