Trevose, also known as the TVO(tee,vee,oh), is a census-designated place within Lower Southampton Township, while the entire community of Trevose within and beyond the CDP is in both Bensalem and Lower Southampton Townships in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States, which is north of and borders northeastern Philadelphia. Trevose was formerly part of Feasterville-Trevose, but was split into two separate CDPs for the 2010 census.

The community is named after the home of settler Joseph Growden and itself after Growden's homestead in England (Growden was Cornish; Trevose is from the Cornish word Trenfos for farm.).
