Jarvis is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, on the Red Line at 1523 W. Jarvis Avenue in Chicago, Illinois (directional coordinates 7400N, 1600W). The Rogers Park neighborhood, located in the far northeast corner of Chicago, has four El stations (N to S): Howard, Jarvis, Morse, and Loyola.

The style of the station is typical for the intermediate red line stops between Howard and Belmont - a narrow wooden platform in the middle of the tracks, with the Red Line stopping on the inner tracks on either side, and the Purple Line running express on the outside during rush hour.
