DeKalb Avenue is a station on the BMT Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Wyckoff and DeKalb Avenues in Bushwick, Brooklyn, it is served by the L train at all times.

This underground station, opened on December 14, 1928, has two tracks and two side platforms. Each platform has blue columns are regular intervals with every other column having a standard black and white station name plate.

The mosaic tile bands are predominantly green and blue, with yellow and tan accents. Those installed on the stairway from the mezzanine to the Manhattan-bound platform in 2000 feature a seven-inch entrance motif design with a dull green and blue background. The trim line has "D" tablets on it at regular intervals to represent "DeKalb."

This station has three entrances/exits. The main one is a mezzanine above the platforms and tracks at the west (railroad north) end. It has a single staircase from each platform, waiting area that allows free transfer between directions, turnstile bank, token booth, and four staircases to all corners of DeKalb and Wyckoff Avenues.

The other two entrances/exits are on platform level and unstaffed at the east (railroad south) end. Each fare control area has HEET turnstiles and two street stairs. The ones on the Manhattan-bound platform lead to either northern corners of Wyckoff and Stanhope Street while those on the Canarsie-bound one lead to either southern corners.
