The present invention relates to a rapid heating heater module for an electric steam iron, including a heating body assembly having a heater, a water inlet and a steam jet outlet, the heating body assembly is provided with a heating body, an electric heater is inserted into the heating body, top and bottom flow paths are respectively arranged on top and bottom sides of the heating body, and the heating body is also provided with a communication hole for communicating the top flow path and the bottom flow path. The heating body assembly is provided with a top cover with the water inlet for covering the top flow path, a bottom cover with a steam outlet hole for covering the bottom flow path, and an iron plate arranged on the bottom cover, wherein the iron plate is provided with the steam jet outlet. According to the rapid heating heater module, the steam flow path is divided into top and bottom flow paths, the volume of the iron generating a quantity of steam is minimized, such that the iron plate is smooth, and high temperature steam may be injected.
