75th Street (originally 75th Street–Elderts Lane) is a skip-stop station on the New York City Subway's BMT Jamaica Line. This station is served by the Z train during rush hours and the J at all other times. There is room for another track in-between the two current ones. The north exit leads to 75th street and has a crossunder. The south exit, which leads to Elderts Lane, is now closed. This station is actually located in two boroughs; the north end is in Queens while the south end is in Brooklyn.

The 1990 artwork here is called Five Points of Observation by Kathleen McCarthy. It affords a view of the street from the platforms and resembles a face when seen from the street. This artwork is also located in four other stations on this line.
