Fogo Island, Coastal community on Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The settlement extends across multiple communities including Fogo, Joe Batt's Arm-Barr'd Islands-Shoal Bay, Seldom-Little Seldom, and Tilting on the largest offshore island of Newfoundland.

French fishermen frequented the island in the early 16th century, with permanent settlements established in the 18th century at Fogo Harbour and Tilting Harbour.

The island maintains strong Irish influences, particularly in Tilting, which became an exclusively Irish Catholic settlement during the 1780s.

Transportation to the island operates through the MV Veteran ferry service and Fogo Aerodrome airport, connecting visitors to mainland Newfoundland throughout the year.

The Flat Earth Society identifies Brimstone Head, a rocky formation on Fogo Island, as one of the four corners of the Earth.
