Bedford Park Boulevard–Lehman College (formerly Bedford Park Boulevard–200th Street) is an elevated station on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Bedford Park Boulevard (formerly 200th Street) and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, it is served by the NYCS|4 train at all times.

The station building is at street level with tracks above the building due to street layout. Until the 2006 renovation on the downtown platform several small old 200 signs could be seen behind a chainlink fence toward the front of the platform. These signs have been removed.

The Jerome Yard-Concourse Yard complex is located on the west of the station. The track connections to Jerome Yard are at the north end. Concourse Yard has a single track connected to the southbound local; south of the station. The Concourse Yard serves as one of the few interconnections between the IRT and the BMT/IND divisions.

The station has a brick mezzanine and stairway walls with "BPB" and restroom mosaics in the station house. A storeroom is located on the landing of the stairs to the platforms. Walking to the east connects to the New York Botanical Garden and a Metro-North Railroad station of the same name, and to the west one can walk around the yard complex (at street level) to Lehman College and the Bronx High School of Science.

This station was renovated in the Summer and early Fall of 2006. During this time, the street level mezzanine area and platforms were renovated and yellow tactile edge warning strips were installed. The IRT directional tablets inside fare control have been preserved.
