Cole Harbour—Eastern Passage was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elected one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.

The district was created in 1992 from Cole Harbour.

In 2003, the district lost an area south of the Circumferential Highway and the eastern side of Morris Lake to Dartmouth South, and lost an area south of Portland Street to Cole Harbour.

In 2013, the district gained the area south of Russell Lake and east of Highway 111 from Dartmouth South-Portland Valley.[2]

The district was abolished at the 2021 Nova Scotia general election, mostly into Eastern Passage and parts of Cole Harbour-Dartmouth and Cole Harbour.
