Crossharbour and London Arena is a Docklands Light Railway station west of Cubitt Town on the Isle of Dogs in east London. It is between Mudchute and South Quay stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.

The Docklands Light Railway station opened as "Crossharbour" on August 31, 1987, and was renamed in 1994.

This is the nearest station to the now demolished London Arena, which hosted major events and was home to the London Knights ice hockey team. The station will likely be renamed when the London Arena is converted to a housing development.

There is a reversing siding between the two running tracks just to the Mudchute side of the station, and trains from the South Quay direction are sometimes terminated here.
