Long Gull Pond is a 7.0 kilometres (4 mi)-long lake located in the western part of the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Route 460 runs along its southern shore, connecting Stephenville and Stephenville Crossing.

This section of Route 460, called the Hanson Memorial Highway, was constructed during the 1950s by the United States Army Corps of Engineers who were stationed at Ernest Harmon Air Force Base. The highway made the lake more accessible and it has become a popular recreation area for Stephenville. The lake is frequently stocked with fish by the Stephenville Rod and Gun Club.
