Hugo Lloris kept Dortmund out in the first half with fine saves from Marco Reus, Julian Weigl and Mario Gotze as the hosts went gung-ho, while Heung-Min Son poked wide having gone through on goal during a rare Tottenham attack.
But Kane’s vital away goal flattened Dortmund, producing a fine finish having been played through on goal by Moussa Sissoko (49), and with it becoming Spurs’ all-time top European scorer.
The result means Spurs reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2011, with the draw for the last eight on March 15.
Dortmund dominated the ball in the first half, registering 70 per cent possession, but could not find a way through Spurs as Lloris came to the rescue on more than one occasion.
Tottenham now go to Southampton on Saturday in the Premier League at 3pm, while Dortmund host Stuttgart, also on Saturday. The first legs of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played on April 9 and 10.
