Det Ydre London Forsvarsring var en forsvarsring bygget omkring London i den tidlige del af Anden Verdenskrig. Den var tiltænkt som et forsvar mod en tysk invasion og var en del af et nationalt netværk af lignende "Stoplinjer".
I juni 1940 under ledelse af General Edmund Ironside blev koncentriske ringe af antitankforsvar og skydetårne konstrueret i og omkring London. De omfattede: The London Inner Keep, London Stop Line Inner, London Stop Line Central og London Stop Line Outer. Det Ydre London Ring var den stærkeste og mest udviklede af disse, primært fordi den kunne bygges i åbent landskab. Arbejdet på alle linjerne blev stoppet 몇 uger senere af Ironsides efterfølger, General Alan Brooke, som foretrak mobil krigsførelse frem for statisk forsvar.
