Deptford Green is a street in Deptford, Kent.

Barnard ship-builders had a ship yard in Deptford Green. This was on the riverside on the extreme east of this square on the site which was partly used for Deptford Power Station (previously General Steam Navigation, and before Barnard the East India Company). Barnard were an Ipswich company and took over a lease on this site in 1779. In 1781 Barnard added another slipway making the yard up to three buildings and a dry dock. Barnard’s main London yard was to the north in Grove Street. In these two yards Barnard built thirteen vessels for the Navy and twenty nine East Indiamen. In the 18th it became known as Deptford Dry Dock. Here the Barnard’s built naval warships and East Indiamen until around 1834. On Deptford Green the family had a three storey mansion house. The property was still in their hands in the 1840s, but by the 1850s was in a ruinous condition.
