Quebec East is a long time riding in Canadian federal politics. While its boundaries have changed over the decades it essentially is made up of the eastern part of Quebec City and is largely of working class composition. It was created in 1867 and existed until it was abolished through redistribution prior to the 2004 Canadian election.

The riding has been represented by a number of notable MPs to the Canadian House of Commons over the years including Wilfrid Laurier (1877 - 1919), Ernest Lapointe (1919 - 1941) and Louis St. Laurent (1942 - 1958).
