30th Avenue (also known as 30th Avenue – Grand Avenue) is a local station on the BMT Astoria Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 30th Avenue and 31st Street in Astoria, it is served by the N train at all times, and by the Q train on weekdays.

This elevated station, opened on July 19, 1917, has two side platforms and three tracks. The center track is not used in revenue service. Both platforms are narrower at their south ends and have creme-colored windscreens for the entire lengths and wooden canopies with transite.

This station's only mezzanine is an elevated wooden station house beneath the center of the platforms and tracks. It has a turnstile bank and two staircases for each platform. A crossunder is behind the token booth on the north side. A passageway on each side behind the platform stairs leads to a staircase going down to either southern corners of 31st Street and 30th Avenue. Two staircases on the other side go down to the northern corners.
