Port Hope Simpson is a town located on the southeastern Labrador coast, 215 km (134 mi) from the Quebec/Southern Labrador border in Canada. In 1944 it was named after John Hope Simpson as a company town.

With the completion of the Trans-Labrador Highway that crosses the region, the town has benefitted from an increase in tourism.

The nearby Shinneys Water Complex has 2,500 km² (970 sq mi) of over 1,000 islands rising dramatically above sea level. These protected waters are ideal for all types of boating and the adjoining Alexis River is a popular fishing destination for Atlantic salmon.
