Labrador is a body of land on the easternmost coast of Canada. It forms the mainland portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The name "Labrador" is one of the oldest names of European origin in Canada, almost as old as the name "Newfoundland". It is probably named after one of John Cabot's crewmen, a portuguese farmer or "llavrador" from the Azores, João Fernandes, who first sighted it in 1501.
