Doboj East (Serbian: Добој Исток) is a municipality located in the Tuzla Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was created in 1998, three years after the Dayton Peace Agreement by seceding from the municipality of Doboj. Today Doboj East is experiencing rapid urbanization, as well as economic and industrial growth. One reason for this occurrence might be the fact that the municipality is situated on the crossroads of several other rapidly developing or developed areas of Bosnia.
Doboj East is situated between the city of Gračanica to the east and the city of Doboj to the west. To the south lies the Spreča river which also serves as the municipality's edge and subsequent border with Petrovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Spreča valley covers the southern half of the municipality where the land is very fertile thus the area is mostly agricultural plots. Towards the north the elevation starts rising and the terrain is much hillier. This represents the southern part of the Trebava mountain.
Doboj East is composed of 5 small towns: Brijesnica Mala, Brijesnica Velika, Klokotnica, Lukavica Rijeka, and Stanić Rijeka, of which Klokotnica represents the seat of the municipality.
