Petty Harbour–Maddox Cove is a town of approximately 950 people located on the eastern shore of the Avalon Peninsula in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is nestled deep in the heart of Motion Bay about 10 kilometres south of St. John's. The present town is approximately 200 years old, though the site has been continuously occupied since at least 1598. During King William's War, the village was raided by French forces in the Avalon Peninsula Campaign.
