East Derbyshire was a parliamentary constituency in Derbyshire which elected two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain.
It was created for the 1868 general election, and abolished only seventeen years later under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. It was then replaced by seven new constituencies: Chesterfield, Mid Derbyshire, North East Derbyshire, South Derbyshire, West Derbyshire, High Peak and Ilkeston.
