The Electoral district of East Devon, sometimes referred to as Devon East, was an electoral district of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It was based on Tasmania's north coast in the town of Devonport and the surrounding rural area.

The seat was created as a single-member seat ahead of the 1871 election following the abolition of the Devon seat. In 1886, it became a two-member seat, and at the 1897 election, it was abolished and split into the electorates of Devonport and Latrobe.
