Beckton DLR station is the eastern terminus of the Beckton branch of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the Docklands area of east London. The DLR branch from Poplar was opened on 28 March 1994.

The station is unmanned and tickets are bought on the machine.

Beckton station is in Travelcard Zone 3. The next station is Gallions Reach.

When the London Docks and gasworks at Beckton were active, they were served by a railway system. A separate station known as Beckton existed on this earlier network, several hundred yards east of Beckton DLR station, until its closure in December 1940.

In 2007-2008, works have been undergoing to move the bus station directly opposite the DLR station.
