Cannon Street Road was a short-lived railway station in Shadwell, east London, that was on the London and Blackwall Railway (LBR) between Minories and Shadwell stations.

It opened in August 1842 but was closed {{circa}} December 1848.{{Cite web|title=Disused Stations: Cannon Street Road Station|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/c/cannon_street_road/|access-date=2021-07-27|website=www.disused-stations.org.uk}} The reasons for its closure are unclear, but it may have been due to low patronage combined with its close proximity to other stations.

In 1877 a new LBR station called Leman Street was opened slightly to the west of the Cannon Street Road site.
