Church Street Station is a Muni Metro station at the intersection of Market Street, Church Street and 14th Street in San Francisco, California. The J Church, which enters and exits the Market Street tunnel in a portal near the station, has an aboveground stop on Church and Market Streets. The N Judah also exits the tunnel before reaching the station and stops one block away at Church and Duboce Avenue. The station consists of two side platforms next to the tracks on the second level down with the concourse mezzanine level overlooking it.

At both Church Street Station and Castro Street Station, there is only one stairway on each side of Market Street leading into the station. (All other stations on the Market Street Subway have entrances spread out along the length of the station.) One of these entrances is located on the north-west corner of Market and 14th Street, and the other is on the south-west corner of Market and Church Street.

Church Street Station is featured in the Nick Nolte/Eddie Murphy cop dramedy 48 Hours, with shots of entrances, plaza and platform levels, and train operations.

Service at this infill station began in November 1982.
