104th Street is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway, located on Jamaica Avenue between 102nd and 104th Streets. The south exit at 102nd Street is closed, but the mezzanine and the stairs to the street and platforms are still present. The north exit at 104th Street has a clad wooden crossover mezzanine with concrete floor and windscreens half-way up the stairs from the platform.

Until 1966, this station was known as 102nd Street. It was then given the dual name of 102nd–104th Streets. As of 2007, station signage and the official map give the station name as 104th Street,^[1] but the published timetable gives the name as 104th–102nd Sts.^[2]

The 1990 artwork is called Five Points of Observation by Kathleen McCarthy.
