Spring Street is a local station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Spring Street and Sixth Avenue in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, it is served by the E train at all times, and the C train at all times except late nights, the latter of which is replaced by the A train during late nights.

This underground station, opened on September 10, 1932, has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are used by the A train during daytime hours.

The platforms have a blue trim line on a dark blue border. The name tablets consist of "SPRING ST" in white sans-serif font on a dark blue background with a lighter blue border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are "SPRING" and directional signs in white lettering on a black border tiled onto the walls. Blue I-beam columns run along the entire length of both platforms with every other one having the standard black and white station signs.

All fare control areas are at platform level. The station's main ones are at the south end of the platform, each contain banks of regular and HEET turnstiles, a token booth, and a single staircase going up to Spring Street and Sixth Avenue. The one on the northbound side is built inside a school building and leads to the northeast corner while the one on the southbound side leads to the northwest corner. A crossunder just within fare control allows a free transfer between directions.

The southbound platform has an unstaffed HEET entrance that has a single staircase going up to the southwest corner Van Dam Street and Sixth Avenue. Wall tiling suggests that fare controls and a crossunder have been removed from the north end of the station.

The 1994 artwork installed at the stairway of the northbound platform's fare control is called New York City Subway Station by Edith Kramer. It consists of a single painting depicting 14th Street – Union Square on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line.
