Sutphin Boulevard–Archer Avenue–JFK Airport (formerly named Sutphin Boulevard–Archer Avenue before the AirTrain JFK transfer opened) is a station on the IND and BMT Archer Avenue Lines of the New York City Subway. It is located at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue in Jamaica, Queens and served by the E and J trains at all times, and by the Z train during rush hours in the peak direction.

This underground, two-level station was originally named Sutphin Boulevard, and served as a replacement for the former Sutphin Boulevard elevated station on the demolished segment of the BMT Jamaica Line two blocks north. When the AirTrain opened, the JFK Airport suffix was added.

This station has two levels; the upper level serves the IND Archer Avenue Line, while the BMT line uses the lower level. Each level has two tracks and an island platform. Like the other stations on the Archer Avenue Line, Sutphin is fully ADA-accessible. Both platforms are 600 feet (183 m) in length, standard for a full-length B Division train.

There are gray vertical acoustic tile side walls and a glassed-in crossover. The mezzanine is glass and stainless steel and features a "Sutphin Boulevard" mosaic on the geographic north wall.

Stairs go up to all four corners of Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue. An elevator is located at the southeast corner. As part of upgrades to the Jamaica Transportation Center Station Plaza, two new subway station entrances, with canopies, will be constructed.

A connection is available to the Long Island Rail Road at Jamaica station, which is located immediately outside this station. A connection is also available to AirTrain JFK, which provides nonstop service to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
