Kent East was a federal electoral district (or riding) represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1904 to 1917. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1903 when Kent riding was divided into two ridings: Kent East and Kent West. It incorporated parts of Bothwell and Elgin West ridings.
The west riding consisted of the townships of Camden, Chatham, Howard, Orford and Zone, the towns of Bothwell, Dresden, Ridgetown and Wallaceburg, and the village of Thamesville.
The electoral district was abolished in 1914 when it was merged back into Kent riding.
