Lafayette Avenue is a station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway, located at Lafayette Avenue and Fulton Street in Brooklyn. It is served by the NYCS|C train at all times except late nights, when the NYCS|A train assumes service.

This is a local station with two side platforms. Both platforms have stairs that lead up to a long mezzanine and fare control. There is no crossover or crossunder between the northbound and southbound platforms. Exits from the mezzanine are on Greene Avenue, South Portland Avenue, South Oxford Street, and Hanson Place. (Despite the station's name, there are no entrances on Lafayette Avenue; the nearest entrance is a full block away.) The tilework at this station is composed of dull green tiles reading "Lafayette Ave."

South of this station there is a storage/lay up track between the two express tracks. Both ends of the track connects to the express tracks, and ends on a bumper block.

The station is located very close to the Fulton Street station on the IND Crosstown Line. Passengers on northbound local trains can see the station on the right just after leaving Lafayette Avenue. There is a track-qualified employee-only connection between the two stations.
