East Surrey is a constituency^{[n 1]} represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Claire Coutinho, a Conservative serving as Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.^[2][3] The seat covers an affluent area in the English county of Surrey.

Since its creation in 1918, East Surrey has elected a Conservative MP on an absolute majority (over 50% of the vote) at every general election, one of few seats that can make this claim, and is therefore regarded as a Conservative safe seat. Its greatest share of the vote for any opposition candidate was 33.75% in February 1974.^{[n 2]}
