The 18th Avenue station is a local station on BMT West End Line of the New York City Subway in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. It is served by the D train at all times. The station opened in 1916 as part of the BMT West End Line, which was upgraded into an elevated line as part of the Dual Contracts.

The station is scheduled to become compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 through the installation of elevators.
