20th Avenue is a local station on the BMT Sea Beach Line of the New York City Subway, located in Brooklyn on 20th Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets. It is served by the N train at all times.

This open cut station, opened on June 22, 1915, has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are not normally used.

Both platforms are made of concrete. They have beige walls and blue-green columns and the station signs are in the standard black plates in white lettering. There are also multiple non-working old lights and 1960s-era benches.

This station has one/entrance exit towards the east (railroad south) end. Two staircases from each platform go up to an enclosed concrete crossover before a set of doors lead to the waiting area of the stucco and tile station house. Outside the turnstile bank, there is a token booth and a set of doors leading to the east side of the 20th Avenue overpass/tunnel above the platforms and tracks.

This station is in disarray and in need of a major renovation. This is evident by the numerous piles of pigeon droppings, peeling paint and cracks in the walls of the stationhouse and platforms. These cracks cause constant water to runoff, creating calcification and moss growth on platform columns. During the colder months, large icicles can form up to a meter long.
