36th Street is a station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at 36th Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

This is an express station with two island platforms and four tracks. The M and R trains provide local service, while the N and D trains run express (except during late nights, when they provide local service). During late nights, this station is the northern terminal for the R shuttle to Bay Ridge–95th Street. South of here, N and R trains continue on Fourth Avenue, while D and M trains diverge east onto the BMT West End Line.

This is one of two "36th Street" stations served by the R train. The other is 36th Street on the IND Queens Boulevard Line.

36th Street station underwent overhaul in 1998 to 1999. This station received needed repairs as well as upgrading the station for ADA compliance. The MTA rebuilt the staircases, re-tiled the walls, new tiling on the floors, upgrading the station's lights, installing ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, new track-beds for local and express trains entering the station and also installing some artwork around the station's entrance.[citation needed]
