Seventh Avenue, occasionally referred to as Seventh Avenue–Park Slope, is a station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway, located at Seventh Avenue and Ninth Street in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn.

This station has two island platforms and four tracks; and only the outer two are normally in revenue service. South of this station, the express tracks separate from the local tracks and take a different route to Church Avenue.

The full time booth is located in the middle of the mezzanine. However, there are High Entry-Exit Turnstiles available at both ends, allowing customers to exit the station without having to walk to the middle area to enter fare control. Crossovers are available at all staircases. There are four street stairs at the 7th Avenue entrance and three at the 8th Avenue one. The 8th Avenue entrance also has an intermediate level at the first staircase, otherwise a descending hill. Inside the fare control near the 8th Avenue entrance is a large scale painting of Prospect Park's "The Raven".

While this station is underground and Fourth Avenue is elevated, this station is actually at a higher elevation and altitude than Fourth Avenue. The reason why this station is underground and Fourth Avenue is elevated is because Brooklyn's topography slopes downwards towards the west (hence the neighborhood name of Park Slope).
