Tangier is a rural community on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, in the Halifax Regional Municipality.

It lies along the Marine Drive on Nova Scotia Trunk 7 approximately 23 km (14 mi) west of Sheet Harbour.

[2][3] The Mi'kmaq name for the settlement was Wospegeak, translating to "the sunshine is reflected from the water".

[2][4] The present name of the community is most likely derived from the shipwreck of the schooner Tangier in 1830.

[6] The community has a church and several private fishing wharfs, as well as a post office.
