footnotes = Baie Verte (2006 Population 1,275) is a town located on the northeast coast of the island portion of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador on the Baie Verte Peninsula.

Baie Verte is one of 42 communities that make up the Emerald Zone which is located in the North Central portion of Newfoundland. Baie Verte dates to the late 1800s, but remained a small village until the discovery of asbestos and other ore bodies of copper, lead, zinc and gold in the mid 1950s when the town underwent major expansion. Bowering Brother's steamers called in the area in the 1950s to transport the ore found here. It became a town in 1968.
