Dyckman Street (pronounced DIKE-man) is a station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Dyckman Street and Broadway in Inwood, within northern Manhattan. It is served by the A train at all times.

Dyckman Street formerly Dyckman Street – 200th Street opened on September 10, 1932 at 12:01 AM with the inauguration of service running on the IND between 207th Street and Chambers Street/Hudson Terminal. There was no official train, and the chains that blocked the access to the turnstiles were lifted just before midnight, and those who dropped their nickels in, were able to board any train that they wished to ride. The new line took seven years to build and cost $191,200,000.

The station is planned to be rehabilitated as part of the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Program.

There are four tracks and two side platforms, much like in local stations on the subway system. The two center tracks lead to the 207th Street Yard. They merge with the two outer tracks south of this station and there are crossovers and switches between all four tracks to the north. Some northbound A trains terminate here before being taken out of service to the yard by switching to the center tracks north of this station.

Both platform walls have no trim line and the name tablets read "DYCKMAN – 200TH ST." in white sans serif lettering on a maroon background and black border. Small "200" wall signs in white numbering on a black background and yellow i-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals. Every other column has a black station name plate reading "Dyckman Street" in white lettering. There is an underpass connecting the platforms.
