Herring Neck is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

It is on the northeastern extremity of New World Island, Notre Dame Bay.

[2] It first appeared in the Census of 1845 with a population of 546, which included the surrounding settlements as noted above.

[1] The population has continued to decline due to the cod moratorium and the downsizing of the fish processing plant in the community.

In November 1908 at the Orange Hall, William Coaker gathered together a group of fisherman to form what became later the Fishermen's Protective Union, which became a powerful, though short-lived political entity within the House of Assembly of the Dominion of Newfoundland.
