The 2022–23 National League 2 East is the first season of the fourth-tier (east) of the English domestic rugby union competitions; one of three at this level. The others are National League 2 North and National League 2 West. Previously, there were two leagues at level four; National League 2 North and National League 2 South. [2]

Blackheath became champions, with three matches to play, following their 93 – 17 defeat of Westcliff on 25 March 2023.[3] Rochford Hundred and Westcliff are relegated to Regional 1 South East.
