Calgary-East is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Canada.

The electoral riding of Calgary East has existed twice, the first incarnation was created from Calgary North East in the election of 1963. The riding changed names in 1971 to Calgary McCall. The return of Calgary East happened in the 1993 election when Calgary-Forest Lawn and half of Calgary-Millican merged.

This riding covers the central north east portion of Calgary and contains the neighborhoods of Vista Heights, Rundle, Marlborough, Mayland Heights.

Only two MLA's have ever held this riding since 1963, the early Calgary East belonging to Social Credit and the second incarnation solidly Progressive Conservative. Since the district was re-created Social Credit has floundered, never coming in higher than third. The Liberals have made progressive gains increasing vote share and percent in every election in Calgary East, but have never managed a breakthrough.

On November 19, 2004 a Student Vote was conducted at participating Alberta schools to parallel the 2004 Alberta general election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
