East Brisbane is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 3km east of the Brisbane CBD. It is predominantly residential, with some original "Queenslander" style homes, but with an increasing number of apartment blocks. Major roads include Lytton Road, Wellington Road and Latrobe Street in the north and Vulture Street and Stanley Street in the south of the suburb. The eastern side of the suburb rises to a small hill with some views over Woolloongabba and the CBD and falls away to Norman Creek.

Until 13 April 1969 electric trams operated by the Brisbane City Council served the suburb, running along Stanley Street from Woolloongabba, into Lisburn, Elfin and Latrobe Street and thence into Lytton Road, and on to Bulimba. Trolley-buses, also operated by the City Council operated along Stanley Street until March

Public transport to the suburb is now predominantly provided by regular bus services and frequent CityCat services, which leave from Mowbray Park. The suburb is also an easy walk from the Woolloongabba bus station.

The significant housing areas in East Brisbane were founded during the Brisbane property boom of the 1880's. For example, one such development was the Heathfield Estate, which was released in 1886.

Mowbray Park, a large riverside park, was until the 1930s, the site of a public swimming pool built into the river.

The eastern side of the suburb is dominated by the Anglican Church Grammar School and Norman Creek. The Western side the of the suburb is dominated by small industrial warehouses.
