The Steinway Tunnel carries the NYCS service|7 train of the New York City Subway under the East River between 42nd Street in Manhattan and 51st Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, in New York City. It was originally designed and built as an interurban trolley tunnel (hence the narrow loading gauge and height), with stations near the NYCS service|7 train's current Hunters Point Avenue and 42nd Street–Grand Central stations. It is named for William Steinway, who was a major promoter of its construction, although he died in 1896 before it was completed.

The first IRT Steinway test train between Grand Central and Vernon Avenue (today's Vernon–Jackson station) ran June 13, 1915, with regularly scheduled service beginning June 22.
