Deadman's Bay is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The community is located near fishing grounds, contributing to its diversified and successful fishery despite its exposed, sandy coastline and harsh fall storms.
The population continued to increase as people from Bonavista, Cape Freels, and Lumsden moved to Deadman's Bay.
Electricity became available in Deadman's Bay in 1963, they also had their own elementary school, and by 1981 they were catching cod, flounder, catfish, herring, mackerel, salmon, squid, and lobster.
Julian Moreton, a missionary in Greenspond, made his first visit to Deadman's Bay in August 1850 which he describes in his book, Life and Work in Newfoundland.
