The Eastern Province is one of the nine provinces of Sri Lanka, the first level administrative division of the country.

Between 1988 and 2006 the province was temporarily merged with the Northern Province to form the North Eastern Province. The capital of the province is Trincomalee. Kalmunai is the largest and most populous city of Eastern Province.
