Praia Gonçalo (Cape Verde Creole: Praia Gonsalu) is a settlement in the northeast of the island of Maio in Cape Verde. It 2010 population was 67. It is located 18 km northeast of the island capital Vila do Maio. It is also a beach covering the northeast of the island.

It is connected as a branch road with the Barreiro-Cascabulho Road, the East Maio Route.

The beach would be first named as "Praya Gonçalo" along with the settlement later, which was the Middle Portuguese name used up to the 1911 Orthography Reform made by Portugal which removed the y and became replaced with an i.[2], but in Cape Verdean Creole, the older form continued to be used up to the mid-20th century and continued in Maio Creole.
