Fazakerley East ward is an electoral district of Liverpool City Council within the Liverpool Walton constituency.

The ward was created for the elections held on 4 May 2023 following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which decided that the previous 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The Fazakerley East ward was created as a single-member ward from the eastern half of the former Fazakerley ward.[1]

The ward boundaries follow the Kirkby branch of the Northern Line, Longmoor Lane, Lower Lane, the East Lancashire Road, Knowsley Book, the River Alt, Bridgehouse Lane, Aintree Lane and Sherwood's Lane.[1]

The population of the ward at the 2021 census was 5,916.[2]
