The '''Battery Place station''' was a station on the demolished [[IRT Ninth Avenue Line|Ninth Avenue]] and [[IRT Sixth Avenue Line|Sixth Avenue]] elevated train lines in [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]]. It was located at the southern terminus of [[Greenwich Street (Manhattan)|Greenwich Street]] at the north end of [[Battery Park]].

The station had two tracks and two [[side platform]]s. It was served by trains from the [[IRT Sixth Avenue Line]] and [[IRT Ninth Avenue Line]]. It opened June 5, 1883.<ref>{{cite news|title=A Station at Battery Place|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1883/06/03/archives/a-station-at-batteryplace.html|newspaper=New York Times|page=5|date=June 5, 1883|accessdate=September 22, 2020}}</ref> One block north of the station, the Sixth Avenue El diverged to the east at Morris Street. It closed on June 11, 1940, though Sixth Avenue line trains stopped serving it when that EL line was closed in 1938.

The next southbound stop was [[South Ferry (IRT elevated station)|South Ferry]]. The next northbound stops were [[Rector Street (IRT Ninth Avenue Line)|Rector Street]] for Ninth Avenue Line trains (which replaced the earlier Morris Street station), [[Rector Street (IRT Sixth Avenue Line)|Rector Street]] for local Sixth Avenue Line trains, and [[Park Place (IRT Sixth Avenue Line)|Park Place]] for Sixth Avenue Line express trains.
