East Galway was a UK Parliament constituency in Ireland, returning one Member of Parliament from 1885 to 1922.
Prior to the 1885 United Kingdom general election the area was part of the Galway County constituency. From 1922, on the establishment of the Irish Free State, it was not represented in the UK Parliament.
This constituency comprised the eastern part of County Galway. In 1918, the boundaries were adjusted to take account of transfers of territory between County Galway and County Roscommon under the 1898 Local Government Act.
1885–1918: The baronies of Clonmacowen, Kilconnell, Killian, Longford and Tiaquin.
1918–1922: The rural districts of Ballinasloe No. 1, Mountbellew and Portumna, the district electoral divisions of Cappalusk, Cloonkeen, Colmanstown, Graigabbey, Grange, Killimor and Tiaquin in the rural district of Loughrea, and the urban district of Ballinasloe.
