East Falls station is a station located along the Manayunk/Norristown Line in the East Falls section of Lower Northwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at Midvale Avenue & Cresson Street and includes a 51 space parking lot. In FY 2013, East Falls station had a weekday average of 625 boardings and 553 alightings.

Though little more than a pair of platforms with open shelters and a trailer, it serves as a replacement for a former Reading Railroad station which was opened in 1912, and burnt down approximately in 1982. It contains a staircase leading to Cresson Street and the station on the north side of the viaduct over Midvale Avenue, and a pedestrian crosswalk with a traffic signal exclusively for that crosswalk on the south side.
