The Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle service of the New York City Subway operating in Queens.

This shuttle train provides service to the western part of the Rockaway peninsula, with a terminus at Rockaway Park – Beach 116th Street.

During its early years, it provided essentially non-rush hour and weekend service between Euclid Avenue and either Far Rockaway – Mott Avenue or Rockaway Park – Beach 116th Street.

From November 26, 1967 to September 10, 1972, it was colored red, with daytime non-rush hour and weekend service usually available between Rockaway Park and Euclid Avenue or Broad Channel, plus some weekday mid-afternoon service provided between Far Rockaway and Euclid Avenue.

At those times, the HH would operate from Euclid Avenue to Rockaway Park, then to Far Rockaway via Hammels Wye, and finally back to Euclid Avenue, thus earning this night owl service the unofficial nickname as Rockaway Round-Robin.
