Millwall Junction railway station was a railway station in Poplar, London, on the London and Blackwall Railway. Despite the name, it wasn't actually in Milwall, but rather marked where the L&BR southern branch to Millwall and North Greenwich, which served the West India Docks left the main line. It was between West India Docks and Poplar on the main line, with South Docks the next stop on the Millwall branch.
It was opened on 12 December 1871, the same time as the L&BR's southern branch down to Millwall Docks opened. The station was open for more than fifty years, until 3 May 1926 when all passenger services on the L&BR east of Stepney were withdrawn, and Millwall Junction was closed. Goods services still ran through until the 1960s. It has since been completely demolished and built over; the Docklands Light Railway's junction east of Poplar now occupies the station site.
