East Barron is a rural locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The Barron River forms most of the western boundary of the locality flowing into Lake Tinaroo (created by the Tinaroo Dam) which then forms the northern boundary of the locality.

There is small chain of hills known as The Pinnacles in the north of the locality with heights up to 790 to 810 metres (2,590 to 2,660 ft).

[4] Apart from these protected areas, the land is used for grazing on native vegetation and growing a variety of crops including sugarcane.

Further south, the Malanda–Atherton Road enters the locality from the south-east (Upper Barron) and exits to the west (Atherton).
