The Newfoundland Time Zone (NT) is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting 3½ hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), resulting in 30, or 2½ hours during Daylight Savings Time.

NT is used only in Canada, and there only by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Officially, the island of Newfoundland, plus its offshore islands, is the only part of the province that uses NST; Labrador, the mainland portion, officially uses Atlantic Standard Time. However, the southeastern tip of Labrador unofficially uses NT because it is more closely tied economically to the island than it is to the remainder of Labrador.

This unique time zone puts the island of Newfoundland ½ hour ahead of the rest of North America. Because of this, it will hit milestones of time before any other part of the continent. For example, Hollywood celebreties have been spotted in St. John's for New Year's Eve and the Newfoundland release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was publicised across Canada.
