Court Square is a New York City Subway station complex on the IND Crosstown Line, the IRT Flushing Line and the IND Queens Boulevard Line. The complex is located in the vicinity of One Court Square in Long Island City, Queens and served by the:

7, E, and G trains at all times
M train on weekdays
<7> train during rush hours in the peak direction

The complex comprises three separate stations, formerly known as :
23rd Street – Ely Avenue (Queens Boulevard Line)wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.747265&lon=-73.945359&z=...
Long Island City – Court Square (Crosstown Line)wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.747265&lon=-73.945359&z=... and
45th Road – Court House Square (Flushing Line)wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.747265&lon=-73.945359&z=...
Following the opening of the Citibank office tower at One Court Square, a passageway was built underneath connecting the Queens Boulevard and Crosstown stations.

On December 16, 2001, service on the Queens Boulevard Line was increased by the connection of the IND 63rd Street Line, requiring G trains to terminate at Court Square on weekdays. To compensate Crosstown riders going into Queens, a free out-of-system transfer to the Flushing Line station was created.

On June 3, 2011, a $47 million ADA-accessible connection between the Crosstown Line and Flushing Line stations was opened and the two stations were renamed "Court Square". In kind, the Queens Boulevard Line station, which is not ADA-compliant, was renamed "Court Square – 23rd Street".

The station features “Temple Quad Reliefs,” which was a piece of public art by Frank Olt commissioned by the MTA.
