Aston Township is a township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Neumann College (est. 1965), a private co-educational Franciscan college located on the grounds of Our Lady of Angels Convent, is located in the northern portion of the township.

A new veterans memorial, dedicated to all veterans that lived in the township (and present-day Chester Heights prior to 1948) from the American Revolution to the present-day Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with Aston Township EMTs, Police, and Firefighters that were killed in the line of duty, is currently being built at the same intersection, but opposite of the former inn site.
