Jacques Bonsergent (French pronunciation:[ʒakbɔ̃sɛʁʒɑ̃]) is astation of theParis Métro, servingline 5 and located in the10th arrondissement of Paris.
The station was opened on 17 December 1906 as the northern terminus of Line 5 fromPlace d'Italie, replacing the temporary terminus ofQuai de la Rapée, before the line was extended toGare du Nord on 15 November 1907. The stations original name of Lancry is after proximity to the Rue de Lancry and its former local owner, Sieur Lancry. The station kept that name until 1946.
The current name refers to the Place Jacques Bonsergent, named afterJacques Bonsergent, an engineer who became the first Parisian (and possibly first French) civilian executed by the German occupation in 1940. Bonsergent was born atMalestroit, in 1912 and was condemned to death by a German military tribunal on 5 December 1940 after being accused, and found guilty, of an act of violence against German soldiers during the night of 10 November. The execution was carried out on 23 December 1940 at theBois de Vincennes; the commanding officer was GénéralOtto von Stülpnagel. Bonsergent's remains lie in the cemetery at Malestroit, Brittany.
The station has two access points, each consisting of a fixed staircase:
| Street Level |
| B1 | Mezzanine for platform connection |
| Line 5 platforms | Side platform, doors will open on the right | |
| Southbound | ← | |
| Northbound | ||

The lighting strips are white and rounded in theGaudin style of the metro revival in the 2000s, and the white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the tunnel exits, and the outlets of the corridors, while the vault is painted white. The advertising frames are metallic, and the station name is written both inParisine typeface and in capital letters on enamelled plates. TheMotte style seats are orange.
