The Hanover Square station was an express station on the demolished IRT Third Avenue Line in Manhattan, New York City. It had two tracks and one island platform. The station was originally built in 1878 by the New York Elevated Railroad. The next stop to the north was Fulton Street. The next stop to the south was South Ferry. The station closed on December 22, 1950.[2]

Hanover Square station is immortalised in the last movement of Orchestral Set No. 2 by Charles Ives, a recollection of the day the news broke that the liner the Lusitania had been sunk in 1915.
