103rd Street is a local station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 103rd Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, it is served by the 1 train at all times.

This is the southernmost 3-track station on the line. South of the station, there are switches that connect the express track to either local track. However, the express track is currently unused in revenue service. Between 96th Street and 103rd Street, the dual express tracks serving the southern part of the line descend and curve to the east to form the IRT Lenox Avenue Line. They turn off of Broadway and onto 104th Street directly underneath this station.
