East Sharpsburg is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was first listed as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.[3]

The CDP is in southern Blair County, in central Taylor Township. It is mainly on the north side of Pennsylvania Route 164, 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the borough of Roaring Spring and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northwest of Martinsburg.

East Sharpsburg sits in the western part of Morrisons Cove, at the southern base of Loop Mountain.

Halter Creek continues to the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River, part of the Susquehanna River watershed.
