69th Street (also known as 69th Street – Fisk Avenue) is a local station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 69th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in the Woodside, Queens, it is served by the 7 train at all times.

This elevated station, opened on April 21, 1917, has three tracks and two side platforms. The center track is used by the peak direction <7> express service during rush hours. The extreme north (geographical east) end of the northbound platform is a closed work stair leading to a storage area below the tracks.

Both platforms have beige windscreens and brown canopies with green support frames and columns in the center and black, waist-high, steel fences at either ends. Black lampposts are at the un-canopied sections at regular intervals and the station signs are in the standard black name plate in white lettering.

This station has one elevated station house beneath the center of the platforms and tracks. Two staircases from the street, one at the northeast corner of 69th Street and Roosevelt Avenue and the other at the southwest corner, go up to the mezzanine, where there is a token booth at the center and a turnstile bank at either ends. Both turnstile banks lead to a waiting area/crossunder and have one staircase going up to each platform.

The Brooklyn–Queens Expressway passes under the IRT Flushing Line just east of the station. There were formerly crossovers and switches between this station and Woodside – 61st Street. They were removed in 2008 and replaced with crossovers on either side of 74th Street – Broadway.
