East Devon is a borough constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the Empire of Great Britain. It has been held eleven times over eleven sessions of Parliament. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "East Devonshire". For many years it has been synonymous as the home constituency of Thomas Carew, The Earl of Devon. After Carew's retirement to the House of Lords, it is currently held by his wife, Josephine Carew, The Countess of Strathmore.

It is Thomas Carew's registered Constituency of Interest.
