Plaistow ( ; often mispronounced or ) is an urban area in the London Borough of Newham in east London immediately south of West Ham. It forms the majority of the London E13 postcode district.

Plaistow is a residential area, including several council estates. The main roads are the A112, Prince Regent Lane/ Plaistow Road/ High Street/ Broadway, which is a former Roman road, and the A124 (Barking Road), which passes south west/ north east through Plaistow and past the West Ham United F.C. Ground. Commercial and retail premises are on the A112 at Greengate Street leading north and Prince Regent Lane south, leading to Newham Sixth Form College, and along the A124. It contains generally smaller shops compared to Stratford or West Ham.

From 2010 to 2015 Plaistow is scheduled to undergo extensive urban re-generation including the replacement of council homes, such redevelopment and rejuvenation to coincide with the staging of the Olympic Games at nearby Stratford.
