Darlington is a former train station in Chester Heights, Pennsylvania. It was a stop on Pennsylvania Railroad's West Chester Line, and later became part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester line. It was located at 612 Darlington Road.

The station, and all of those west of Elwyn station, was closed in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilities at Exton station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line. Service was "temporarily suspended" at that time, with substitute bus service provided. Darlington station still appears in publicly posted tariffs. Darlington Station was named after the dairy located at that place. For years it was a flag stop, but was abandoned and then re-established. However, Darlington Station was demolished shortly after service ended.
