Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer (formerly Jamaica Center–Parsons Boulevard) is the northern terminal station on the IND Archer Avenue Line and BMT Archer Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at Parsons Boulevard and Archer Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.

This is a two-level station, with E trains serving the upper level at all times, J trains serving the lower level at all times, and Z trains serving the lower level during rush hours only. Each level has two tracks and one island platform, which are ADA-accessible with full elevator access. This station has tan brick walls and red brick floor; the ceiling has metal slats and resembles a vaulted ceiling, except there are no curves. This is a major transfer point for buses from eastern Queens. It was opened on December 11, 1988.

The tracks extend eastward beyond the station as a stub for an unfinished subway extension towards southeastern Queens. These tracks are used for storage.
