Tobago East is a parliamentary electoral district in Trinidad and Tobago, comprising the eastern part of Tobago. It is currently represented by Ayanna Webster-Roy of the People's National Movement.
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]
