Abstract In this paper, we examine the recently introduced concept of equidistant dimension $\mathrm{eqdim}(G)$ for Hamming graphs $H_{r,k}$.
For hypercubes $Q_r=H_{r,2}$, exact values have been derived for \mbox{$r\not\equiv 0 (\!\!\!\mod 4)$}.
Finally, the exact value for $\mathrm{eqdim}(H_{2,k})$ has been derived.
We have shown that for Hamming graphs $H_{2,k}$, the equidistant dimension remains constant
when $k\ge 5$, whereas for hypercubes, it grows linearly with the order of the graph.
