Eighth Street–New York University is a station on the BMT Broadway Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Eighth Street and Broadway in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, it is served by the NYCS service|R train (all times except late nights}, the NYCS service|N train (late nights and weekends), and the NYCS service|W train (weekdays). It is the closest stop on the Broadway Line to New York University.

The station's overhaul in the late 1970s included fixing the station's structure and the overall appearance (including the staircases and platform edges), replacing the original wall tiles, old signs, and incandescent lighting to the 70's modern look wall tile band and tablet mosaics, signs and fluorescent lights. In 2001, the station received a state of repairs including upgrading the station for ADA compliance and restoring the original late 1910s tiling, repairing the staircases, re-tiling for the walls, new tiling on the floors, upgrading the station's lights and the public address system, installing ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, new signs, and new trackbeds in both directions.In 2005, the artwork Tim Snell's "Broadway Diary" mosaics installed on the station platform wall titles in both direction.
