Flushing Avenue is a local station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Flushing Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn, it is served by the J train at all times except rush hours and middays in the peak direction, and the M train at all times except weekends and late nights. The Z train, when it operates, bypasses the station.

The north exit leads to Flushing Avenue while the south exit is an emergency exit and leads to Park Avenue. This station was made ADA accessible in late 2003 due to its proximity to Woodhull Hospital. The elevators are cantilevered over the sides of the structure. At the north end, the platform walls are vertical windscreen on the northbound and southbound sides.
