Haystack was a former fishing settlement located on the northern portion of Long Island, Placentia Bay of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. People from the community freely chose to move to other places in the province during the resettlement program of the 1950s and 60s. Unlike most communities, residents were not paid to leave the community.
The community takes its name from a natural protuberance approximately 50 feet in height located (47.633829, -54.062453) on the extreme end of the peninsula surrounding the natural harbour; called the haystack.
