14th Street is an express station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, it is served by the 1 and 2 trains at all times, and by the 3 train at all times except late nights.

This underground station, opened on July 1, 1918, has four tracks and two island platforms. During daytime hours, 1 trains stop at the outer local tracks while 2 and 3 trains stop at the center express tracks. During late night hours, all service is on the local tracks.

Both side track walls have their original IRT mosaic trim line with "14" tablets on it at regular intervals. Both platforms have blue i-beam columns that run along both sides at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.

This station has three fare control areas. The full-time entrance is at the north end. A single staircase from each platform leads to a crossover that has a newsstand in the center, two now defunct restrooms above the southbound platforms and tracks (mosaic signs reading "MEN" and "WOMEN" remain intact), and two full height turnstiles above the northbound platform and tracks (one entry/exit and one exit-only) leading to a staircase that goes up to the southeast corner of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue. There is also a passageway leading to Sixth Avenue on the BMT Canarsie Line, which in turn allows a free transfer to 14th Street on the IND Sixth Avenue Line. The full-time turnstile bank at the center of the crossover opposite the newsstand leads to a mezzanine containing a token booth, three staircases going up to the either northern corners as well as the southwest corner of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue. There is also a now-closed passageway with directional mosaics that leads to 14th Street – Eighth Avenue.

The station has an exit-only at the center. Two staircases from each platform go up to a crossover where on either side, a single exit-only turnstile and emergency gate leads to a staircase that goes up to either northern corners of 13th Street and Seventh Avenue.

The station has an unstaffed fare control area at the south end. A single staircase from each platform leads to a crossover and a bank of turnstiles as well as one exit-only and one full-height turnstile. The mezzanine has a now-unused customer assistance booth and two staircases going up to either northern corners of 12th Street and Seventh Avenue.

In addition to the free transfers to the IND Sixth Avenue and BMT Canarsie Lines, a connection is available to PATH at 14th Street.
