Ferryland is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
This was the most strongly anti-Confederation area of the province in the late 1940s, but turned Liberal in the 1950s and '60s. It's historically a fishing district, but tourism has been growing. Ferryland contains part of the City of St. John's in the area of Lower Goulds as well as the communities of: Admiral's Cove, Aquaforte, Bay Bulls, Bauline East, Biscay Bay, Brigus South, Burnt Cove, Calvert, Cape Broyle, Cappahayden, Daniel's Point, Fermeuse, Ferryland, Kingman's Cove, La Manche, Mobile, Petty-Harbour-Maddox Cove, Port Kirwan, Portugal Cove South, Renews, St. Michael's, Tors Cove, Trepassey and Witless Bay.
A Tory stronghold, Ferryland district has been dominated by two Progressive Conservative mainstays: Charlie Power and Loyola Sullivan.
