The Broadway Ferry station was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line in Brooklyn, New York City.

This station opened on July 14, 1888, to serve the Broadway Ferry, and closed due in part to the mainline BMT Jamaica Line providing direct service to Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge after 1908.{{cite book |last=Cudahy |first=Brian J. |title=Over and Back: The History of Ferryboats in New York Harbor |year=1990 |publisher=Fordham University Press |location=New York |isbn=0-8232-1245-9 |pages=175–179}} The station finally closed on July 3, 1916, but the segment of the line remained dormant throughout the 1920s and 1930s.BMT Lines: Brooklyn Manhattan Transit: A History as Seen Through the Company's Maps, Guides and other Documents: 1923-1939," by James Poulous
