The Eastern constituency (No.211[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Saint Petersburg. The constituency covers all of Nevsky District in eastern Saint Petersburg as well as eastern portion of Tsentralny District.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Mikhail Romanov, two-term State Duma member and nonprofit founder, who switched from South-Eastern constituency and won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Igor Divinsky.
