Beaches—East York is a provincial electoral district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

It was created in 1999 from parts of Beaches—Woodbine, York East and Don Mills.

When the riding was created, it included the former borough of East York east of Coxwell Avenue and that part of Old Toronto east of a line following Coxwell to Gerrard Street to Greenwood Avenue to Queen Street to Leslie Street.

In 2007, the boundaries were altered so that everything west of Coxwell Avenue was given to neighbouring Toronto—Danforth.
