Broadway is a station on the IND Crosstown Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Broadway and Union Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it is served at all times by the G train.

This underground station opened on July 1, 1937, as part of the extension of the Crosstown Line from Nassau Avenue to Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets. This station has two tracks and two side platforms. The platforms have a green trim line on a black border and name tablets reading "BROADWAY" in white sans serif lettering on a black background and green border. The i-beam columns in the entire station are dark blue with alternating ones on the platforms having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.

Small station signs underneath the trim line read "BROADWAY" in white lettering on a black background. One of the icon tiles on the northbound platform is incorrectly spelled as "BRODAWAY"; this mistake may have been part of the station's original tilework. After the Daily News and several other news outlets reported on the misspelling in February 2009, the two wrong letters were covered with the correct ones printed on stickers, but as of December 2009, the stickers have been removed. In December 2011, the MTA stated the tiles would remain.

The station has a small mezzanine above the platforms and tracks at the south end, allowing a free transfer between directions. Two staircases from each platform go up to the mezzanine. The mezzanine previously had a northern half that had exits to both northern corners of Johnson Avenue and Union Avenue, and the intersection of Union Avenue, South 5th Street, and Montrose Avenue (the north end of the station). It is now closed to the public and currently holds offices and storage space.

A turnstile bank provides entrance/exit from the station. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and four street stairs, one to the southwest corner of Broadway and Heyward Street, and the remaining three to the southwestern, southeastern, and northeastern corners of Broadway and Union Avenue; however, the staircase to the southwestern corner was closed many years back.
