23rd Street is a subway station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, it is served by the C and E trains, the former of which does not run during late nights and is replaced by the A

This local station has four tracks and two side platforms. Each platform has exits to 23rd, 24th, and 25th Streets, with an open crossunder at 23rd Street and a closed one at 25th. The station is unrenovated and thus has several closed fare booths.

Just north of this station, a storage track begins between the two Eighth Avenue express tracks. This track runs north and stub-ends at the south end of the center platform at 34th Street–Penn Station.
