{{Use mdy dates|date=August 2023}} '''The Eastern Division of the ABA''', or ABA Eastern Division, was one of the two groups in which the teams of the American Basketball Association were divided, based on their geographical location. The other group was called the Western Division (ABA), or ABA Western Division.
The first four teams in each division entered the ABA Playoffs. The divisions were maintained until the 1974–75 season, since in the last season the 9 surviving teams were regrouped in a single division.<ref>basketball-reference.com [http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/ABA_1976.html 1975–76 ABA Season Summary], Visited in July 2023</ref>
