Burnside is a neighbourhood in Terra Nova, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Burnside is located at 48.7167°N, 53.7992°W.

Burnside nestles in a hollow where the land gently slopes towards a rugged coastline, its houses clinging to the terrain as if seeking shelter from the persistent Atlantic winds. It lies 17.6 km east of Glovertown, NL (from Glovertown, NL: bearing 81°T), and is situated 15.9 km east-north-east of Glovertown South. The air here carries the briny tang of salt and the damp, earthy scent of moss-covered rocks, a constant reminder of the ocean's proximity. Rolling hills, softened by a blanket of scrubby spruce and hardy grasses, cradle the settlement, their muted greens and browns a canvas for the ever-changing sky, which often casts a pearlescent sheen upon the landscape in the soft light of dawn or the deep blues of twilight. A scattering of lobster boats, their buoys bobbing like scattered jewels, dots the harbour, a quiet testament to the enduring connection between Burnside and the sea. The history of Burnside is deeply entwined with the bounty of the ocean, its economy long anchored by the fishing industry, particularly the lucrative lobster catches that have sustained generations. Echoes of past endeavours can still be felt in the weathered wood of old wharves and the stoic resilience of its inhabitants, a people shaped by the demanding rhythms of the sea and the close-knit fabric of a small, coastal life. While modern industries may have found a foothold, the soul of Burnside remains tethered to its maritime heritage, a legacy evident in the shared stories, the communal spirit, and the quiet pride that permeates this Newfoundland and Labrador locality.
