Spring Street is a local station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Lafayette and Spring Streets in Manhattan, it is served by the 6 train (all times) and the 4 train (late nights).

There are two side platforms and center express tracks. The platforms are offset by about two-thirds of their length. The station has been renovated, and is on a slight curve. There is no crossover or crossunder. In a unique layout, there is a space between the express tracks for a pocket layup track, removed long ago. At one point along the center walls, the locations of the switches connecting this track to the express tracks can be seen. A mechanical room is now located in the trackway at the south end between the two express tracks. The station retains the typical large and small IRT mosaics in the old (prior to platform lengthening) portion. Due to the curve there is a large gap between the train and platform, but no fillers are needed. Fare control is at platform level. The station has small "S" cartouches from 1904, made by Atlantic Terra Cotta, and large mosaic tablets by Heins and LaFarge, also from 1904. Other small "S" and "Spring St" mosaics are newer.

In the 2008 film Cloverfield, a replica of the Spring Street station appears as a place of refuge.
