Wall Street is a station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Wall Street and William Street in the Financial District of Manhattan. It is served by the 2 and 3 trains on weekdays, with the 3 not stopping here late nights. During weekends, the station is closed.

Wall Street opened on August 1, 1918 as part of a three-stop extension towards Brooklyn. It originally opened as the temporary terminus before the Clark Street Tunnel opened on April 15, 1919.

During the 1964–1965 fiscal year, the platforms at Wall Street, along with those at four other stations on the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, were lengthened to 525 feet to accommodate a ten-car train of 51-foot IRT cars.

This underground station is the southernmost in Manhattan on the Brooklyn Branch of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. South of here, the line travels under the East River via the Clark Street Tunnel to Brooklyn Heights. The single island platform is between the two tracks, and very narrow compared to other stations in system. It has blue I-beam columns and dark blue floors tiles. The walls by the tracks have small "W" tablets on a mosaic trim except at the north end, where they have "WALL ST" written in black letters on white tablets over a green trim line. This is where the platform was extended in 1964–1965.

There is a narrow full length mezzanine above the platform that has mosaics pointing to and connecting all four station entrances.

This station has four entrances/exits:
