Dowgate, also referred to as Downgate and Downegate,[1] is a small ward in the City of London, the historic and financial centre of London, England.

There is one church, St. Michael Paternoster,[a] where, in addition to its local and congregational causes, the Anglican Mission to Seafarers convenes and fundraises.

The ward also contains Cannon Street station, which is on the site of the Steelyard (a mediaeval trading port of the Hanseatic League), and Dowgate Fire Station on Upper Thames Street, the only London Fire Brigade station within the City of London.

Only electors who are Freemen of the City of London are eligible to stand.
