Dunfermline East (UK Parliament constituency)

Dunfermline East was a burgh constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system.

The constituency was created for the 1983 general election from parts of the seats of Central Fife and Dunfermline. It was abolished for the 2005 general election as part of a major revision in the composition of parliamentary constituencies in Scotland.

Most of Dunfermline East and its neighbouring constituency Kirkcaldy now make up the new seat of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath. The remaining parts of the seat were moved to the new Dunfermline and West Fife and Glenrothes constituencies.

The constituency's name was something of a misnomer as it never included any part of the town of Dunfermline, all of which was located in the Dunfermline West seat. Cowdenbeath was the largest town in the constituency.

The seat's sole representative from its establishment for the 1983 General Election to its disestablishment in 2005 was Gordon Brown, who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1997 and 2007, and would be would be elected to represent Dunfermline East's replacement constituency of Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath at the 2005 General Election, the constituency of which he would serve from as Prime Minister between 2007 and 2010.
