This is a series of lists of those who have received a producer credit (executive, associate, etc.) on the long-running British soap opera EastEnders . The definition of producer has changed over the years, as has the nature of television production. Therefore, the list is just of those receiving a producer credit on-screen. It excludes those who have produced EastEnders outside the regular series only, such as special or charity episodes.
