List of closed New York City Subway stations

The largest number of closed New York City Subway stations consist of stations on abandoned and demolished elevated lines that were once operated by the IRT and the BMT, both of which were privately held companies.

The Dean Street station was demolished as part of the rebuilding of the BMT Franklin Avenue Line, and the Cortlandt Street station of the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line was demolished and subsequently rebuilt after it sustained heavy damage caused by the September 11 attacks.

The closed outer platforms of the Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets station are occasionally used for filming purposes.

The criterion for closing stations, as explained by spokesman Charles Seaton, is not "because of low ridership.

New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer delivered a letter to the New York City Transit Authority President Andy Byford in January 2020, demanding that the MTA develop, and make public, plans for restoring abundance of unavailable entryways along subway routes.

The "long-shuttered entry points" contribute to severe overcrowding at stations and longer commute times.
