Dagenham Heathway is a London Underground station on the District Line, located in Dagenham. It is in Zone 5.

The station was opened in 1932 and is of similar design to Upney and Elm Park with the platforms arranged on a central island with a long sloping walkway connection to the ticket hall. The station was constructed and initially operated by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway with services provided by the District Line from the outset. The 1930s station buildings were extensively refubished during 2005 and 2006. It is between Becontree and Dagenham East stations.

It has been proposed that in the future the Docklands Light Railway will be extended to Dagenham Heathway, via the under development route to Dagenham Dock. The line may either terminate at Dagenham Heathway or be extended on to Rainham or Dagenham East.
