Cape St. Francis is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The vast majority of the district is made up of suburban communities neighbouring the provincial capital St. John's, though the district does take in the northeast end of the city. The majority of residents commute into St. John's daily for work. The district was known for many years as St. John's East-Extern.
The district's boundaries encompass the northeastern tip of Avalon Peninsula, including the outer stretches of St. John's as well as Bauline, Flatrock, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Pouch Cove and Torbay. In 2011, 10,444 people were eligible to vote within the district.[1]
The district has been a Progressive Conservative stronghold for over 40 years.
