Wapping was a London Underground station near Wapping in east London, England. It was in zone 2, and on the East London Line between Shadwell and Rotherhithe. Now the station is Part of The Overground Network, which resumed limited services as off April 27th 2010.

Opened in 1869, the station occupies the north end of the former Thames foot tunnel built by Marc Isambard Brunel between 1825-1843, and subsequently adapted for railway traffic. Access to the station is by lift or a flight of stairs.

The station was extensively remodeled between 1995 and 1998, when the entire East London Line - including Wapping station - was closed due to repair work on the East London Line's Thames Tunnel.
