Snyder is a rapid transit passenger rail station on SEPTA's Broad Street Line[2] in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located at 2100 South Broad Street (PA 611) in the Lower Moyamensing neighborhood and is named for Snyder Avenue.

Originally built in 1938, Snyder station was the southern terminus of the Broad Street Line until 1973, when it was extended to Pattison Station (now named NRG station). A connection exists to the never-built Passyunk Avenue Spur.[3] South Philadelphia High School and the Methodist Hospital are located near the station.
