Aqueduct Racetrack is a station on the IND Rockaway Line of the New York City Subway. Located on the west side of Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park, Queens, it is served by northbound A trains but is open only on racing days from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This station has four tracks, two of which are in revenue service. Unusually, it has only one platform, located on the northbound side, with one exit leading directly to Aqueduct Racetrack. Thus, it can only be served by northbound trains. While the station is advertised as "open racing days," some trains stop there regardless of time of day; however, this does not guarantee an exit from the station.
