Haddington is a neighborhood in the West Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is arguably located between 52nd Street and 63rd Street, bounded by Chestnut Street and Girard Avenue.
It is an African American community of mostly 2-story rowhouses with a large proportion of elderly residents and a high homeownership rate. Near the intersection of Vine Street and 56th Street, new construction and community facilities were built in the 1970s thanks to the Haddington Leadership Organization.
Haddington's Historic District is located on the 6000 blocks of Market, Ludlow, and Chestnut Streets, showcasing colonial and classical revival styles of architecture built from 1909 to 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

It's name is thought to have possibly been taken from Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. The name Haddington is thought to have been given to this area, during British colonial times, and due to the area's colonial style architecture, this theory is hypothetically 'backed-up'.
