East was the third studio album by Australian pub rock band Cold Chisel, released in June of 1980. The album peaked at No. 2 on the national chart and was the biggest-selling Australian album release of the year. The cover art was inspired by the 1798 painting The Death of Marat.

The album was preceded by the release of the single "Choir Girl" that was actually recorded in October 1979 and released in November, the band's first recording with Mark Opitz who would then work on all subsequent Cold Chisel albums. The songs "Cheap Wine" and "My Baby" were also released as singles. East was the first Cold Chisel album to feature tracks written by all members of the band.
