Toronto East Centre was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1925 to 1935. It was located in the city of Toronto in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1924 from parts of Toronto Centre, Toronto East and Toronto South ridings.
It consisted of the part of the city of Toronto south of Bloor Street, north of Toronto Harbour, west of the Don River and the Canadian National Railway line, and east of Avenue Road, Queen's Park Crescent, University Avenue. The area north of Dundas Street and east of Jarvis was excluded from the riding.
The electoral district was abolished in 1933 when it was redistributed between Rosedale and St. Paul's ridings.

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or centre:
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The bogholes might be Atlantic seepage.
The wet centre is bottomless.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
