Dyckman Street is a station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Served by the A train at all times, it is located at the intersection of Dyckman Street and Broadway in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan.

The station has four tracks and two side platforms. A full-time fare booth is located on the southbound side at platform level, with a crossunder leading to the northbound platform. Just to the north, the center "express" tracks diverge to the 207th Street Yard; to the south, they merge with the local tracks. Some northbound A trains terminate at Dyckman Street and continue to 207th Street Yard using these center tracks.

This station opened as Dyckman Street–200th Street on September 10, 1932, along with the rest of the Eighth Avenue Line from 207th Street to the Chambers Street/Hudson Terminal complex.
