Burnside Avenue is an express station on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Burnside and Jerome Avenues in the Bronx, it is served by the 4 train at all times.

It is the only express station with three tracks and two island platforms on the elevated portion of the Jerome Avenue Line. (The only other express station on the Jerome Avenue Line is the underground 149th Street – Grand Concourse station.) There are extra side exits from the wooden mezzanine near the stairs to the platform. The station is three to four stories above street level.

This station was renovated in Summer–Fall 2006. During this time, the mezzanine area and staircases received a facelift, while both platform canopies and the structural beams that hold each canopy were replaced and yellow tactile edge warning strips were installed.
