The Electoral district of Gippsland East is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers most of eastern Victoria and includes the town of Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Orbost and Omeo.

The National Party held the seat without interruption from 1923 to 1999. However at the 1999 election independent candidate Craig Ingram unexpectedly won the seat after receiving preferences from the independent, One Nation and Labor candidates. [1] At the following election Ingram won easily, polling 41% of the primary vote and 63% of the two candidate preferred vote.
