Cypress Hills is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located on Jamaica Avenue in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of northeastern Brooklyn, it is served by the J train at all times. The Z train bypasses the station. For northbound trains, this is the last Brooklyn stop, with the next stop, 75th Street, being in Queens.

At the north end is a high exit-only turnstile on the northbound side, while the southbound side has a closed mezzanine. The south exit, which leads to Hemlock Street, Autumn Avenue, and Crescent Street, has a crossunder.

The 1990 artwork here is called Five Points of Observation, by Kathleen McCarthy. It affords a view of the street from the platforms and resembles a face when seen from the street. This artwork is also located in four other stations on the Jamaica Line.
