Brandon East is a ward covering the eastern side of the market town of Brandon in the district of West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits on the edge of Thetford Forest and the distinctive sandy heathland of The Brecks, so the area is noted for good access to walking, cycling and wildlife-rich landscapes rather than dense urban streets.
The ward blends suburban and village character with pockets of local retail, community facilities and schools, and carries a modest industrial and transport heritage - historically linked to brick and tile works and railway connections. Many residents commute to nearby towns such as Thetford and Bury St Edmunds, while local sports clubs, annual events and active community centres give it a neighbourly social feel.
