Glen Riddle is an abandoned train station located underneath the South Pennell Road (PA Route 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.

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 facilties at Exton Station on SEPTA's R5 Paoli/Downingtown line. Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided. Glen Riddle station still appears in publicly posted tariffs.

The Lenni double-tracked station site is currently used by the SEPTA Regional Rail division to train new engineers. The station shed itself was demolished in 1990s, while the asphalt platform survives.

Since passenger service ended in 1986, vandals began stealing the copper catenary overhead wire. In 2005, SEPTA removed all remaining wire west of Lenni Station.
