The 42nd Street station was a station on the demolished IRT Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan, New York City.

It was served by trains from the IRT Sixth Avenue Line, and was located near sites such as the New York Public Library headquarters, Bryant Park, and the New York Hippodrome.

The station opened on June 5, 1878, and closed on December 4, 1938.

Two years later, the rapid transit needs of the intersection were replaced by the IND Sixth Avenue Line platforms of the 42nd Street–Bryant Park/Fifth Avenue subway station complex.
