Marcy Avenue is a station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Marcy Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn, it is served by the J train (all times), the M train (weekdays), and the Z train (rush hours).

This is the westernmost station on the Jamaica Line. Just west (railroad south) of this station, there is a short section of track continuing straight which once led to the Broadway ferry Spur. (For more information, see the J/Z article). As now configured, westbound trains run over the Williamsburg Bridge, connecting to the BMT Nassau Street Line in Manhattan.

This station contains three tracks on two side platforms. The middle track is not used in revenue service. When the Williamsburg Bridge was closed for reconstruction in 1999, a temporary platform was placed over the middle track as this was the terminal for M trains during that time.

The station has had a renovation which extended the platform level station houses over the street and added exits on the west end of both platforms, which are HEET access only. The station is now fully ADA accessible, but there is no free transfer between directions. The 2005 artwork here is called A Space Odyssey by Ellsworth Ausby.
