Nereid Avenue or Nereid Avenue–238th Street is an elevated station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of Nereid Avenue (East 238th Street) and White Plains Road in the Bronx. It is served by the 2 train at all times, and it is the northern terminal for some peak-direction rush-hour 5 trains. Northbound 2 trains terminate at the next stop, Wakefield–241st Street.

At the north end of the station, the northbound track ascends to pass over yard leads, while the others descend. A three story tower is located north of the Station which has an old blue and white letter sign "Warning — Do not lean over edge of Platform." North of this tower, two yard tracks enter the line. The taped station announcements on the train pronounce the station- they pronounce it nee-raid instead of the correct neer-e-id.
