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 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.
