191st Street is a station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of St. Nicholas Avenue and 191st Street in Manhattan, it served by the 1 train at all times.

At approximately 180 feet (50 m) below street level, 191st St is the deepest station in the New York City Subway system. The section of the line through the station opened on March 12 1906, but the elevators and other work had not yet been completed, and the station did not open to the public for another five years.

There are two exits from this station via the same fare control. There is an exit at the summit of the hill; the main entrance at 191st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, accessible by elevator only. The other is at the hillside, at 191st Street and Broadway, accessed via a three-block long passageway, one of the longest in the system.

Despite this depth, the next station north, Dyckman Street, is just above ground level. The reason for this is because the island of Manhattan dips in elevation as it approaches its tip.
