The disclosure discloses a genetically engineered strain for sarcosine production as well as a construction method and application. The genetically engineered strain is obtained by usingas a host and by integrating a single copy of imine reductase gene dpkA on its genome; singly copying citrate synthase gene gltA; knocking out glyoxylate cycle inhibitor gene iclR; knocking out malate synthase gene aceB; integrating a single copy of isocitrate lyase gene aceA; integrating a single copy of membrane-bound transhydrogenase gene pntAB; knocking out 2-ketate reductase gene ycdW; integrating a single copy of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene ppc; and knocking out pyruvate kinase gene pykF. After system metabolism transformation, the engineered strain can synthesize sarcosine with glucose and methylamine as main raw materials. The sarcosine titer can reach 10 g/L after fermentation for 30 h in a 5 L fermenter.
