18th Street was a station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at Park Avenue and 18th Street. The station was open from 1904 to 1948, when it was closed because of platform lengthening at 14th Street–Union Square. The stations are close enough that it is possible to see the lights of 14th Street–Union Square down the tracks from the platform of this station.

The station is no longer inaccessible from the street, but its graffiti-covered walls can be seen through the windows of any Lexington Avenue local train, as well as from express trains if no local train blocks the view.
