13^th/Juniper is a SEPTA rapid transit and light rail station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Market Street between 13^th and Juniper Streets in Center City. The station serves as the 13^th Street stop on the Market–Frankford Line and as the Juniper terminus for all five routes of the Subway–Surface Trolley Lines.

The Market–Frankford Line platforms are located one story below ground level, connected to the Center City Commuter Connection concourse. The south concourse, accessible from the eastbound platform, features underground access to SEPTA's headquarters and transit museum, located at 1234 Market Street.

The Subway–Surface trolley platform for Routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36 is located two stories below ground level, and is accessible only by escalator or stairway from the Market–Frankford platforms. The station is located at the end of the Subway–Surface Line on a balloon loop, and features a single track with all trolleys operating in the same direction. The trolley track does not terminate, however upon departure of the station, the track wraps around and heads west, returning to 15^th Street station. It also features a short spur track to the northeast that is occasionally used to park stranded or dead trolleys.
