East Riding of Yorkshire was a parliamentary constituency in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It returned two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The constituency was created by the Reform Act 1832, when the four-seat Yorkshire constituency was divided in three for the 1832 general election, and abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. It was replaced for the 1885 general election by the new single-member constituencies of Buckrose, Holderness and Howdenshire.

Candidates were elected unopposed at most of the elections throughout its existence as a constituency; the only contested elections were in 1837, 1868 and 1880, on each of which occasions two Conservative candidates defeated a single Whig or Liberal.
