St. George's Bay^[1] is a bay in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is located on the north shore of the province fronting both the Nova Scotia peninsula and Cape Breton Island, thus comprising a sub-basin of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The bay measures approximately {{convert|25|km|mi}} wide at its mouth, between Cape George in the west, and Black Point in the east. Its western shore measures approximately {{convert|23|km|mi|abbr=on}} in length from the northern tip of Cape George south to the entrance to Antigonish Harbour. Its southern shore measures approximately {{convert|43|km|mi|abbr=on}} in length from the entrance to Antigonish Harbour through to the Strait of Canso at East Havre Boucher. The eastern shore measures approximately {{convert|42|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Heffernan Point north to Black Point.

St. George's Bay marks the northern end of the Strait of Canso, one of three outlets for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is a busy coastal shipping route on account of the Canso Canal; the Canadian Coast Guard maintains a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) for the bay called "Canso Traffic" with separation schemes defining sea lanes on nautical charts.
