The Seventh Avenue station (announced as Seventh Avenue–53rd Street) is an interchange station on the IND Sixth Avenue Line and the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and 53rd Street in Manhattan, it is served by the D and E trains at all times, and the B train on weekdays.

The Seventh Avenue station was constructed by the Independent Subway System (IND), and it opened on August 19, 1933. The station has two tracks and one island platform on each of two levels.

The station is announced as Seventh Avenue–53rd Street, in the style of other stations that orient east-west along 53rd Street (such as Fifth Avenue/53rd Street and Lexington Avenue–53rd Street), as well as to prevent confusion with Seventh Avenue along the BMT Brighton Line in Brooklyn, which is also served by the B.
