East Fork Road District was a sui generis municipality in Potter County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 14 at the 2000 census. On January 1, 2004, the district was dissolved and the area merged with Wharton Township.
The vast majority of the district was located within the Susquehannock State Forest, with only a narrow strip of property along East Fork Road being privately owned. East Fork was the only municipal division of its kind in Pennsylvania; comparable in geographic size to the townships of Potter County, but its encapsulation preventing it from normal growth. Its extremely low population prevented it from having the full municipal government of a Second Class Pennsylvania township.
