The 36th Street station is an express station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at 36th Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It is served by the D, N, and R trains at all times. During rush hours, a limited amount of W trains also serve this station.

The 36th Street station was constructed as part of the Fourth Avenue Line, which was approved in 1905. Construction on the segment of the line that includes 36th Street started on December 10, 1909, and was completed in October 1912. The station opened on June 22, 1915, as part of the initial portion of the BMT Fourth Avenue Line to 59th Street. The station's entrances were relocated in 1929, and the platforms were lengthened during a renovation in 1968–1970. The station was renovated again in 1996–1997, and it is planned to receive elevators as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 2020–2024 Capital Program.
