East Langdon is a village in the Dover district of Kent, England; and five miles NE of Dover town.

It was mentioned in the Domesday book. The word Langdon goes back to Old English, meaning "long hill". In the first reference in 861, there was one Langandune, but in 1291 there was a reference to Estlangedoun and Westlangedone (West Langdon, about one mile to the north west).

The church is dedicated to St Augustine. The remains of West Langdon Abbey are nearby.
