Riyad Mahrez eased City nerves with a second-half penalty to give the visitors some breathing room.
But Foden ensured his side would reach the Champions League semi-finals with a left-footed thunderbolt.
Dortmund were caught napping from a short corner with the England youngster, 20, left completely unmarked on the edge of the box.
From a tough angle, Foden unleashed an unstoppable shot past Marwin Hitz.
The screamer crashed the near post and into the back of the net, with the goal left shaking.

The Spanish boss had earlier claimed anything but a Champions League title would leave him being branded a ‘failure’.
But the win put them within touching distance of their first-ever final.
