St. John's (pronounced French: Saint-Jean) is the Provincial capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and located on the eastern tip of the Avalon Peninsula on the Island of Newfoundland. St. John's is the most populous Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in the province, it is the second largest CMA in the Atlantic Provinces after Halifax, and 20th largest metropolitan area in Canada  with a population of 187,700. The city enjoys a long and vibrant history as the oldest English-founded city in North America.

St. John's is the fastest growing metropolitan area in Newfoundland and Labrador and Atlantic Canada as well as the 19th fastest growing in Canada. The CMA includes the neighbouring city of Mount Pearl and eleven other towns, the largest of which are Conception Bay South and Paradise. 

St. John's harbour was a frequent haven for European fishermen throughout the early 1500s, and was officially established as a community when Sir Humphrey Gilbert declared Newfoundland an English colony in 1583. While the origin of the name St. John's is not definitively known, its first usage appears in a Portuguese map as "Rio de San Johem" by 16th century Portuguese cartographer Pedro Reinel (? – c.1542). The popular origin of the name, however, is said to have originated from the Italian discoverer Giovanni Caboto, who landed in Bonavista on 24 June 1497.

The last half of the 20th century has seen St. John's, with a long and prosperous history in the fishery industry, transformed into a modern export and services centre, famed for its nightlife and rich musical culture. More recently, its proximity to recently discovered oil fields has led to an ecumenic boom that has spurred population growth, commercial development and has resulted in the St. John's area now accounting for about half of the province's economic output.
