Simpson Street is an elevated station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Simpson Street and Westchester Avenue in the Bronx, 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).

The station layout is similar in style to Prospect Avenue, with the exception of being able to enter the rear of the old booth. A glass block elevator tower is to the southeast and northwest of the station. There is a 10 MPH (16 km/h) curve just north of the station.
