Eastern Passage is an unincorporated suburban community in Halifax Regional Municipality Nova Scotia, Canada.
Eastern Passage has historically been tied to the fishing industry. Its waterfront has several small wharves and piers.  The construction of CFB Shearwater, a military air base, at the northern boundary of the community during World War I, and the construction of the Imperial Oil (later Esso), Texaco (later Ultramar) oil refineries, the Volvo Halifax Assembly plant and automobile import/export facility following World War II redefined the local economy.  New highway connections have resulted in the majority of area residents commuting to Downtown Halifax or Dartmouth.


The community is home to the Eastern Passage Yacht Club, which hosts a number of sailing races and regattas throughout the summer months. The club was established in 1914 as a result of an amalgamation between two smaller clubs, one from Dartmouth and one from Halifax County. It has since grown into one of Nova Scotia's largest yacht clubs with over 200 members.
