Skelton East is an electoral ward within the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland in England. It represents the eastern side of the historic village of Skelton-in-Cleveland and the surrounding rural fringe, sitting a few miles inland from the Yorkshire coast on the edge of the North York Moors and the Tees Valley.

The area has a strong industrial and rural heritage - once shaped by ironstone mining and later tied to the Teesside steel and chemical industries - but today combines village amenities, green countryside and a small but active community life around local pubs, churches and events. Historic features such as Skelton Castle and relatively easy commuter links to Middlesbrough and Redcar give the ward a mix of local identity and practical connections to the wider region.
