Walthamstow East was a parliamentary constituency in what was then the Municipal Borough of Walthamstow in east London. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first-past-the-post voting system.
The constituency was created for the 1918 general election, and abolished for the February 1974 general election, when it was combined with part of the former Walthamstow West to form the new Walthamstow constituency. However, Hale End ward was added to the new Chingford constituency.
Boundaries 1918–1950: The Urban District of Walthamstow wards of Hale End, Hoe Street, and Wood Street.
1950–1974: The Borough of Walthamstow wards of Hale End, Hoe Street, and Wood Street.
