Clinton–Washington Avenues is a station on the IND Crosstown Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Lafayette Avenue between Clinton and Washington Avenues in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, it is served by the G train at all times.

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. Both platforms have a light green trim line with a dark green border and name tablets reading "CLINTON - WASHINGTON AV." on two lines in white sans serif lettering on a dark green background and a lighter green border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are small directional signs and station names (alternating between "CLINTON" and "WASHINGTON") in white lettering on a black border. Yellow i-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals with every other one having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.

The mezzanine has five murals of artwork, each of different names and artists. They are Night and Day by Jim Porter installed in 1998, Safe Passage by Dan Simmons, an untitled artwork by Maku, Fusion by Jamal Ince installed in 2000, and Mercury by John Woodrow Kelley installed in 2000.

This station has a full length mezzanine above the platforms and tracks supported by yellow I-beam columns. The center of the mezzanine is outside fare control and has a token booth and two street stairs at each end. The ones on the west (railroad south) go up to the northeast and southwest corners of Clinton and Lafayette Avenues while the ones on the east (railroad north) end go up to either eastern corners of Washington and Lafayette Avenues. The center of the mezzanine also has a bank of turnstiles, two exit-only turnstiles, and two staircases going down to each platform.
