The Coat of Arms of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada was originally granted by King Charles I of England on January 1, 1637 to David Kirke, Governor of Newfoundland from 1638 to 1651. In 1928, it was rediscovered and officially adopted as the coast of arms of the Dominion of Newfoundland. It consists of:
- a red shield with a white cross
- two white unicorns and two yellow lions occupy opposing quadrants of the shield

- a European elk above the shield on a red and gold torse
