Hong Kong Island East was a geographical constituency in the election for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 1995, which elects one member of the Legislative Council using the first-past-the-post voting system. The constituency covers part of the Eastern District from east of North Point to west of Chai Wan.[1]

The constituency was merged into the Hong Kong Island constituency in 1998 after the handover of Hong Kong a year before.[2]
