The '''Broadway Ferry station''' was a station on the demolished section of the [[BMT Jamaica Line]] in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]].

This station opened on July 14, 1888, to serve the [[Broadway Ferry]], and closed due in part to the mainline [[BMT Jamaica Line]] providing direct service to [[Manhattan]] via the [[Williamsburg Bridge]] after 1908.<ref>{{cite book |last=Cudahy |first=Brian J. |title=Over and Back: The History of Ferryboats in New York Harbor |year=1990 |publisher=Fordham University Press |location=New York |isbn=0-8232-1245-9 |pages=175–179}}</ref> The station finally closed on July 3, 1916, but the segment of the line remained dormant throughout the 1920s and 1930s.<ref>BMT Lines: Brooklyn Manhattan Transit: A History as Seen Through the Company's Maps, Guides and other Documents: 1923-1939," by James Poulous</ref>

This elevated station had two tracks and one [[island platform]]. A double crossover was located to the east of the station.<ref name="tracks">{{NYCS const|trackref|1910Track}}</ref>
