215th Street is a local station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 215th Street and Tenth Avenue in the Manhattan neighborhood of Inwood, it is served by the 1 train at all times.

The station is near the northern end of the 207th Street Yard. It is also a short block from Inwood Hill Park and provides access to Columbia University's Baker Field athletic complex. North of the station, the tracks cross the Broadway Bridge over Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and onto the mainland. The express track that passes through the station is currently unused in revenue service.

The 1991 artwork here is called Elevated Nature I-IV by Wopo Holup. It is also located at four other stations on this line.
