Eastern Slavonia (Croatian: Istočna Slavonija) is a geographical region of Slavonia in east Croatian. Due to wide plains and rivers, economics of the area depends on agriculture and light industry. It is defined in its borders by the rivers Drava, Danube and Sava.

Major cities of the area are Osijek, Vinkovci, Vukovar and Đakovo.

The area suffered heavily during the Croatian War of Independance, being the prime battlefield of the war with the pivotal battle of Vukovar. Today, the area is economically ruined, although the Croatian government has offered various incentives for new industries - such as tax exemption - to jumpstart the recovery of the area.
