Sox-35th is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, located in Chicago, Illinois, and serving the Red Line. It is situated at 142 W 35th Street. It opened on September 28, 1969 along with the other stations on the Dan Ryan branch. Currently, the station serves U.S. Cellular Field. It is also close to the Illinois Institute of Technology, though 35-Bronzeville-IIT is closer.

Sox-35th station is located in the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway. The main entrance to the station is on the 35th Street overpass; that entrance is handicapped accessible by means of an elevator. An auxiliary entrance is located on the 33rd Street overpass, and this entrance connects to the station via a long pedestrian bridge. At both entrances, a fare turnstile is located at street level and passengers must take stairs, an escalator, or the elevator to the platform. The platform is an island platform; northbound trains stop on the east side, and southbound trains stop on the west side.
