East Brunswick Township is a township in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. Brunswick Township was formed in 1801 as one of the original townships of Schuylkill County, being named for Brunswick (Braunschweig), Germany. In 1834, Brunswick Township was divided into East and West Brunswick Townships. Today both townships are served by the Blue Mountain School District.

The New Ringgold Gristmill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

It is in the Schuylkill watershed and the Little Schuylkill River, which flows southward through the township, drains almost all of it except for an extreme west portion drained by the Pine Creek via Deer Lake directly to the Schuylkill River. Blue Mountain separates it from Berks County.
