Beaches—East York (formerly Beaches—Woodbine) is a federal electoral district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1988.

The riding combines two notable city neighbourhoods: the Beaches and part of the former borough of East York. This political boundary is an area used for both provincial and federal representation; municipally it is divided into two halves, with a councillor for the Beaches (Ward 32) in the south, and one for East York (Ward 31) to the north.

On Toronto city council, the riding is currently held by Councillor Janet Davis in Ward 31 and Council Speaker Sandra Bussin in Ward 32.

Both provincially and federally, the riding has been historically a political stronghold for the New Democratic Party (NDP). Despite this, the riding has been held federally by a Liberal member and former cabinet minister, Maria Minna, since the 1993 election. In the 2004 election, Minna beat NDP candidate and former head of Greenpeace, Peter Tabuns, by more than 7,000 votes to keep her seat. Jim Harris, leader of the federal Green Party, ran in this riding in the 2006 election.

The federal riding of Beaches—Woodbine was created before the 1988 federal election from Beaches riding. Before the 1997 federal election, it adopted its current name.

Prior to 1988, the riding was known as Beaches.
