Heathrow was a small hamlet of Middlesex on the outskirts of London, that was demolished for construction of the London Heathrow Airport in 1945. The area forms part of the London Borough of Hillingdon.

The hamlet was situated a mile and a half east of Longford. Its name was previously Hithero, Hetherow, Hetherowfeyld, Hitherowe, and Heath Row and came from Anglo-Saxon Hǣþrǣw = "row of houses on a heath".
