The 2018–19 East Super League (known as the McBookie.com East Superleague for sponsorship reasons) was the 17th season of the East Superleague, the top tier of league competition for SJFA East Region member clubs.
The season began on 4 August 2018 and ended on 27 May 2019. Bonnyrigg Rose were the reigning champions but they couldn’t defend their title after moving to the East of Scotland Football League.
