19th Street/Oakland is an underground Bay Area Rapid Transit station located at 19th Street and Broadway in downtown Oakland, California.

Like the Oakland City Center/12th Street station, the concourse mezzanine is on the first level down, an island platform and two main tracks for trains bound for Richmond and Pittsburg/Bay Point are on the second level down, and a side platform and one main track for trains bound for San Francisco and Fremont are on the third level down. This station is identifiable by the blue brickwork on the interior.

The station was originally planned to have four main tracks and an island platform on each of the two levels, but budget constraints limited that idea.[citation needed]
