Eastchester–Dyre Avenue is a station on the IRT Dyre Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Dyre Avenue and East 233rd Street in the Bronx neighborhood of Eastchester, it is served by the NYCS|5 train at all times.

Originally opened on May 29, 1912 as a local station of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, it was closed on December 12, 1937 when the NYW&B went bankrupt. In 1940, New York City purchased the right-of-way from the Bronx/Westchester County border southward. In 1941, a shuttle service was implemented between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street using IRT gate cars. In 1957, a physical connection was made to the IRT White Plains Road Line, and through service provided.

Over the years, the two local platforms were removed, with a small piece of the northbound remaining. The current configuration employs the northbound local and southbound express tracks, with an island platform placed over the northbound express trackway. The NYW&B's southbound local trackway can still be seen.

The northern end of the station is on an elevated embankment, while the southern end is elevated. The station entrance is below at street level.
