List of mammals of Newfoundland

This is a list of mammal species recorded in the wild in Newfoundland, the island portion of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Only 14 known species (and one extinct species) are or were native to the island; this list is divided into native species and species introduced to the island since discovery by Europeans and colonization in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

Several species native to Newfoundland are genetically distinct subspecies of more common species found elsewhere in Canada and North America.
