东非保护国，又称英属东非，曾经为英国在非洲东部的一个殖民地，范围相当于今肯尼亚的大部分地区。总面积639,209 km²。19世纪晚期，该地被英国控制。至1920年，该地为英国的“保护国”。1920年，改为“英属肯尼亚”。

East Africa Protectorate (also known as British East Africa) was an area in the African Great Lakes occupying roughly the same terrain as present-day Kenya (approximately 639,209 km (246,800 sq mi)) from the Indian Ocean inland to Uganda and the Great Rift Valley. Although part of the dominions of the Sultan of Zanzibar, it was controlled by Britain in the late 19th century; it grew out of British commercial interests in the area in the 1880s and remained a protectorate until 1920 when it became the colony of Kenya, save for a 16-kilometre-wide (10 mi) coastal strip that became the Kenya protectorate.
