New Ireland Island is an undeveloped island in the West Isles Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Bay of Fundy enters Passamaquoddy Bay. It it situated between Pendleton's Island and Macs Island.
In 1780, local Loyalist settlers Robert Pagan, , Thomas Wyer, Dr. John Califf and Jeremiah Pote proposed a new colony named "New Ireland" be created on Penobscot Bay - however when a trip to England failed to secure its actualisation, the plan faltered and the group largely settled in St. Andrews.
