Downshire East is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Lisburn and Castlereagh, Northern Ireland. The district elects five members to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and contains the wards of Ballymacbrennan, Dromara, Drumbo, Hillhall and Ravernet. Downshire East forms part of the Lagan Valley constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 2014 local elections, largely replacing the Downshire DEA which had existed since 1985.
