La Poile is a settlement on La Poile Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. It has no road routes in or out of the town, and is served via ferry. The town mainly works in lobster fishing. Currently the population is approximately 85 people. The community has a school offering grades K - 9 and a small store. There is an Anglican church which offers services once a month. Health care is limited to a first responder and a visiting doctor who comes once a month, weather permitting.

The town was the subject of an episode of Viceland's Abandoned. There are only 4 students in the local school. The last citywide vote did not have the residents accept provincial money to leave the settlement.
