Elwyn station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Media, Pennsylvania. It is the southern terminus of the SEPTA Media/Elwyn Line.

In 2013, the station saw 510 boardings and 496 alightings on an average weekday.[3] Service initially continued west to West Chester station, but was suspended on September 1986 due to poor track conditions. SEPTA service as far west as Wawa station is planned to be restored by the end of 2021.[4]

In 2009, SEPTA added 90 parking spaces to Elwyn station.[5]

Prior to being named Elwyn, the station was known as Greenwood.[6]
