Seventh Avenue, occasionally referred to as Seventh Avenue – Park Slope, is an express station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway, located at Seventh Avenue and Ninth Street in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. It is served by the F and G trains at all times.

Northern street stair

This station has two island platforms and four tracks, but only the outer two are normally in revenue service. South of this station, the express tracks separate from the local tracks and take a different route to Church Avenue.

The full time fare control booth is located in the middle of the mezzanine. However, there are High Entry-Exit Turnstiles available at both ends, allowing customers to exit the station without having to walk to the middle area. Crossovers are available at all staircases. There are eight street stairs – four at the Seventh Avenue entrance and four at the Eighth Avenue one. The Eighth Avenue entrance also has an intermediate level at the first staircase, otherwise a descending hill. Inside the fare control near the Eighth Avenue entrance is a large scale painting of Prospect Park's The Raven.

While this station is underground and Fourth Avenue is on an elevated trestle, this station is actually at a higher elevation and altitude than Fourth Avenue. The reason why this station is underground and Fourth Avenue is elevated is because Brooklyn's topography slopes downwards towards the west (hence the neighborhood name of Park Slope).

All Coney Island and Church Avenue-bound trains run express from here to Church Avenue due to reconstruction.
