Journal Square is a PATH station located on John F. Kennedy Boulevard between Pavonia and Sip Avenues in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States. Opened on April 14, 1912 as the Summit Avenue station, Journal Square was constructed in a deep cut trench under the Summit Avenue overpass. The station has a high ceiling and a mezzanine level connecting the platforms. The upper level of the station contains some shops, a bank of escalators leading to street level, elevators to parking, and a series of escalators leading to the street level bus bays of the Journal Square Transportation Center. Bus connections are available to NJ Transit and private bus lines for points throughout Hudson County and northern New Jersey.

At the platform level, the inside tracks are typically used by the Journal Square-33rd Street trains, while the outside tracks are used by the Newark-World Trade Center trains.
