Upney tube station is a London Underground station on the District Line. It is located on Upney Lane, Barking in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in East London. The station is in Zone 4.
The station was opened in 1932 when the electrified District Line was extended to Upminster from Barking. The station buildings are of typical 1930s design and the platforms are arranged on a central island with a 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 station design is very similar to Dagenham Heathway and Elm Park.
