Pouch Cove is a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

It is located on the northeast Avalon Peninsula, 27 kilometres north of St. John's, the province's capital city.

The origin of Pouch Cove dates back to 1611, when fisherman from British ships, together with carpenters and other artisans, established a settlement.

[2] The town's motto is "first to see the sun," referring to the sunrise in North America.

[3] In 1987 the municipality was amalgamated with the smaller rural settlement of Shoe Cove.
