15th Street–Prospect Park is a local station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 15th Street and Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace/Park Slope, Brooklyn, it is served by the F and G trains at all times.

This underground station, opened on October 7, 1933, as part of an extension of the Culver Line from Bergen Street to Church Avenue. It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 2005, It has two tracks and an island platform. The two express tracks of the line run under Prospect Park, and are neither visible from this station nor used in revenue service.

The station and tunnel were constructed about 100 feet (30 m) east of Prospect Park West. Therefore, the station is not located underneath a street, and some portions of the tunnel are directly underneath Prospect Park, while others are between the west side of the park and 10th Avenue.

Both trackside walls have an orange-yellow trim line with a medium brown border with small black and white "15TH ST." signs below it at regular intervals. This tile band is set in a three-high course, a pattern usually reserved for express stations. Large, white brick columns run along both sides of the platform and the mezzanine above at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black and white station name plate.

The narrow mezzanine is full length and allows out-of-system walking from one end to the other while the area inside fare control does not, having two sections, one considerably smaller than the other. The northern end has four exit stairs, the latter two of which have stone banisters:
