Old Perlican is a fishing village on the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada.

Incorporated in 1791, it is one of the oldest fishing communities in Newfoundland; it served as the major fishing station in Trinity Bay for migratory fisherman from England in the 17th century.

"Old" was added sometime later to distinguish it from New Perlican; the latter is located further up the bay.

A "planter" (an early settler or colonist) named John Barrett (1654-1714) lived there after arriving from Poole, England in 1711.

The original is in the St. John's archives and a photocopy hangs in the Old Perlican Town Hall.
