The 7 Flushing Local and <7> Flushing Express^[3] are two rapid transit services in the A Division of the New York City Subway, providing local and express services along the full length of the IRT Flushing Line. Their route emblems, or "bullets", are colored purple, since they serve the Flushing Line.^[4]

The 7 operates 24 hours a day between Main Street in Flushing, Queens and 34th Street–Hudson Yards in Chelsea, Manhattan, making all stops along the full route. Additional service operates along the full route and makes express stops in Queens between Mets–Willets Point and Queensboro Plaza during rush hours in the peak direction instead of making all stops; these trains labeled as <7> Express trains. Super express service operates after special events at Citi Field or the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the southbound direction only.

The 7 route started running in 1915 when the Flushing Line opened. Since 1927, the 7 has held largely the same route, except for a one-stop western extension from Times Square to Hudson Yards on September 13, 2015.
