Noel is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in East Hants Municipality in Hants County. The community is named after its most prominent resident Noël Doiron and was known for shipbuilding in the nineteenth century. Noel Doiron is the namesake of the village as well as the surrounding communities of Noel Shore, East Noel, Noel Road, and North Noal Road. The earliest recorded reference to the community of "Noel" was by surveyor Charles Morris in 1752. Prior to that date, the area is referred to as "Trejeptick", which first appears in the Colonial Office minutes of Annapolis Royal in 1734. Noel was also the home of the Osmond O'Brien Shipyard.
