Jackson Avenue is an elevated station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Jackson and Westchester Avenues, it is served by the 2 train (all times), and by the 5 train (all times except late nights and rush hours in the peak direction).

There is a short canopy at the station house only. Fare control is on the southbound side only with High Entrance/Exit turnstiles (HEET) on the northbound side. There are old signs, now covered up, and a closed station house on the north side, which has old plywood walls and floors. The station does not have the windscreen treatment common at other elevated stations. The southbound side has doors from the stationhouse to the street and a partially removed old token booth overlooking the southbound platform.
