East Massapequa is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York, in the New York City Metropolitan Area, United States. The population was 19,069 at the 2010 census. The hamlet lies in New York's 3rd congressional district. The most eastern third portion of East Massapequa (within the Amityville School District) was previously the hamlet of West Amityville and started utilizing a Massapequa mailing address in 1975. Former NBA point guard A.J. Price grew up in East Massapequa and attended Amityville Memorial High School, as did rapper Posdnous from the legendary hip hop group De La Soul.
The name 'East Massapequa' is primarily used to describe the eastern third section of the hamlet that lies within the Amityville School District. The larger western portion of the hamlet is typically identified as Massapequa Park, and borders and uses the same zip code as the village of Massapequa Park, and is served by both the Massapequa and (to a lesser extent) Farmingdale School Districts.

Schools and other local districts[edit]
Students in East Massapequa attend schools in three districts. Students west of Carmans Road and Carman Mill Road attend Massapequa Public schools. This area is known as Massapequa Park because it has the Massapequa Park mailing address and zip code. East of Carmans Road and Carman Mill Road, students attend Amityville district schools. While the CDP is fairly racially diverse, the two districts serve as a split. Unlike the western portion attending Massapequa Public Schools, the CDP within the Amityville School District is very racially diverse and a majority-minority community. Also, a small portion of the CDP (on both sides of Carmans Road, just south of the Southern State Parkway) attend Farmingdale School District.
This area does not share its name with any local school district, or any fire, water, library, or postal district.
