Tobago East is a parliamentary electoral district in Trinidad and Tobago, comprising the eastern part of Tobago. It is currently represented by David Thomas of the Tobago People's Party.

This constituency was created by the Boundaries Commission prior to the 1961 Trinidad and Tobago general election. Although Tobago did not have a large enough voting population to justify the division, the Commission determined that it would be best represented by two Members of Parliament. ^[2]
