Sutphin Boulevard–Archer Avenue–JFK Airport is a station on the IND and BMT Archer Avenue Lines of the New York City Subway. It is located at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue in Jamaica, Queens and served by the E and J trains at all times, and by the Z train during rush hours in the peak direction.

This underground, two-level station was originally named Sutphin Boulevard, and served as a replacement for the former Sutphin Boulevard elevated station on the demolished segment of the BMT Jamaica Line two blocks north. When the AirTrain opened, the JFK Airport suffix was added.

This station has two levels; the upper level serves the IND Archer Avenue Line, while the BMT line uses the lower level. Each level has two tracks and an island platform. Like the other stations on the Archer Avenue Line, Sutphin is fully ADA-accessible. Both platforms are 600 feet (183 m) in length, standard for a full-length B Division train.

There are gray vertical acoustic tile side walls and a glassed-in crossover. The mezzanine is glass and stainless steel and features a "Sutphin Boulevard" mosaic on the geographic north wall.

Exits

Stairs go up to all four corners of Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue. The two northern staircases go down to an unstaffed fare control area that is HEET turnstile access at all times. The full-time fare control area is at the southern end. On the southeast corner, two escalators and a staircase go up outside the Long Island Rail Road's Jamaica station. Three elevators provide access to the streets and two station's main mezzanine areas. Connection is also available to AirTrain JFK, which provides service to John F. Kennedy International Airport.^[5] As part of upgrades to the Jamaica Transportation Center Station Plaza, two new subway station entrances, with canopies, will be constructed.^[6]
