8th Street is a subway station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the corner of 8th Street and Market Street. It is served by SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line and Broad–Ridge Spur, and the PATCO Speedline. The station is owned by SEPTA; PATCO leases its section.

The station is known as 8th Street on the Market-Frankford Line and the Broad-Ridge Spur, and 8th & Market on the PATCO Speedline. It has two levels, with PATCO on the lower level and SEPTA on the upper level. The Broad-Ridge Spur ends at the station on a single track, and originally to pass through the lower level and onto the Locust Street Subway, which now used by PATCO. No free transfers are available, even between the Market-Frankford Line and the Broad-Ridge Spur.

The Gallery at Market East shopping mall is adjacent to the station, as was former major Philadelphia department store Strawbridge's.
