The Philadelphia and Garrettford Street Railway Company was a streetcar operator from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to various suburban locations west of the city.

The company was incorporated in 1904 and that year opened the first segment of its lines.

Its lines included two routes from Philatelphia to Media, Pennsylvania and Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania which are still operated as streetcar lines by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, the only remaining suburban streetcar lines in SEPTA's area.

In 1906, the company was leased to the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company.
