---

Bristol's Hope was the second Newfoundland colony established by Bristol's Society of Merchant Venturers. Located on Conception Bay between Carbonear and Harbour Grace, it was a "sister" colony to Cuper's Cove, and was established in 1618 when the Society won a land grant from King James I of England, and was settled by colonists from Cuper's Cove. Robert Hayman was the colony's only Proprietary Governor.

The colony existed at least until 1631, before being abandoned.
