Vancouver East was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1933. It and the other new Vancouver ridings in this year, Vancouver-Burrard, Vancouver-Point Grey and Vancouver Centre, were all created from the old Vancouver City riding, which was a six-member seat. Vancouver East was a two-member seat.

For a full listing of Vancouver ridings, historical and current, please see Vancouver (electoral districts).

A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old tradition of multiple member districts. Vancouver East was abolished. Its principal successor ridings were Vancouver-Kensington, Vancouver-Hastings and Vancouver-Kingsway. Portions of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and Vancouver-Burrard, formerly part of Vancouver Centre may also have been added.
