Dyckman Street is a station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located roughly at the intersection of Dyckman Street and Nagle Avenue in the neighborhood of Inwood, it is served by the NYCS service|1 train.

The station lies at the northern portal of the Washington Heights Mine Tunnel, which takes the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line through the bedrock of Manhattan. North of the station, the terrain of Upper Manhattan drops abruptly; in fact, the southern end of the station lies adjacent to the tunnel portal, while the northern end is on an elevated viaduct. The track maintains a level grade, even though stations to the south are underground, and stations to the north are elevated.

This is one of only two elevated Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line stations with just two tracks (the other being Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street). An express track, which is currently unused in revenue service, forms just north of this station and runs nonstop to just south of 242nd Street.
