71st Street is a local station on the BMT West End Line of the New York City Subway, located in Brooklyn at the intersection of 71st Street and New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

The station has two fare control areas. The full time area has four staircases to the street and two to each platform. The platform extensions are to the south, and steel fence is present. An error on one of the platform signs shows "Bay Ridge Avenue" as the main cross street on the part time side. The exit actually leads to 70th Street. Bay Ridge Avenue is one block south of this exit.
