The Eastern Tornadoes were a New Zealand rugby league franchise in the Bartercard Cup. They were formed to represent the rugby league clubs of East Auckland. The club previously represented the Ellerslie Eagles but in 2004 they joined the Otahuhu Leopards to form the Otahuhu Ellerslie Leopards. In 2006 the competition was revamped and they were merged with the Otahuhu Ellerslie Leopards to form the Tamaki Leopards.

Notable players included Jeremiah Pai, Gary Tupou, Herewini Rangi & Zebastian Lucky Luisi

The team was always a force in the early years, losing the Grand Final in 2001. However in 2004 and 2005 the club was a shadow of its former self, failing to qualify for the playoffs.
