Whitemarsh Township is a home rule municipality in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Whitemarsh is adjacent to the neighborhood of Andorra in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia, and is bordered in Montgomery County by Springfield, Upper Dublin, Whitpain, and Plymouth townships, Conshohocken, and the Schuylkill River, which separates it from Lower Merion Township.

At that time, Whitemarsh was part of a tract of land that Major Jasper Farmar had purchased from William Penn.

[3] Farmar died shortly thereafter, before making the voyage across the ocean to settle on his newly purchased land.

But his widow and family, with servants, sailed to Philadelphia in 1685,[3] and established their homestead on the part of their land that lay in nearby Fort Washington.

[3] After Farmar's widow died in the 1690s, her son Edward began to sell 100- to 200-acre parcels of their Whitemarsh land to Quakers and German immigrants.

As of 2019, the board members are Chair Melissa Sterling (D), Vice-chair Amy Grossman (D), Michael Drossner (D), Laura Boyle Nester (D) and Fran McCusker (D).

Miles Park, at the intersection of Germantown Pike and Joshua Road, has basketball courts, baseball fields, a walking track, a snack bar, and vending machines.

The Colonial School District provides public education to the children of Whitemarsh Township.

And the Manayunk/Norristown line, which runs along the Schuylkill River, has two stations on the westernmost side of the township: one in Miquon and another, farther north, in Spring Mill.

[12] Since December 21, 2017, OurBus has provided Whitemarsh Township with intercity bus service, as part of a route that runs from West Chester, Pennsylvania, to Park Avenue on Manhattan Island in New York City.
