Moncton East is a neighbourhood in Moncton within Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada, historically shaped by regional transport corridors, industrial development, and suburban expansion. Located east of Downtown Moncton and bordering Dieppe, the area has been influenced by nearby institutions such as Avenir Centre, Atlantic Superstore, and the Moncton Flight College campus.

The neighbourhood experienced waves of development tied to industrial actors such as Canadair (later Bombardier), regional retailers like Sobeys and Loblaw Companies Limited, and wartime mobilization during the Second World War. Post-war suburbanization mirrored trends in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver with municipal zoning influenced by figures associated with Moncton City Council and provincial policies from New Brunswick Premier administrations. Cultural institutions including Capitol Theatre and sporting venues such as Moncton Wildcats home arenas contributed to civic life, while demographic shifts tracked migrations from Acadia and Nova Scotia and economic transitions similar to Saint John and Charlottetown.
