42nd Street / Fifth Avenue – Bryant Park is an underground New York City Subway station complex, consisting of stations on the IRT Flushing Line and IND Sixth Avenue Line, formerly without direct connection, now connected by a pedestrian tunnel under the western end of 42nd Street just on the north side of Bryant Park. Located at 42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan, it is served by the: 7, D, and F trains at all times, B and M trains on weekdays, and <7> train on weekdays in the peak direction.

Free transfers between the two stations were in effect from December 16, 1967, until 1968, by providing paper tickets to passengers, who would exit one station and follow the sidewalk in order to enter the other. The tunnel now permits leaving a train in one station and walking underground to one in the other, and takes away the need for transfer tickets.

The entire station complex was fully renovated in 1998. The interior of the S shuttle received a set of splendid mosaics in 2021 by Nick Cave.
