East Hanover Township is a township in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 11,105,[8][9] a decrease of 52 (−0.5%) from the 2010 census count of 11,157,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 236 (−2.1%) from the 11,393 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Located between the Passaic and Whippany rivers, East Hanover shares a border with four Essex County municipalities; but only has roadways that connect the township with neighboring Livingston and Roseland.

East Hanover is notably home to the North American headquarters of Mondelez International (parent company of Nabisco) and the pharmaceutical company Novartis.
