Cape St. Francis is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Has a small inshore fishery but many constituents commute to jobs in the St. John’s area. The district was known for many years as St. John's East-Extern.
The district boundaries encompass the northeastern tip of Avalon Peninsula, including the outer stretches of St. John's as well as Bauline, Flatrock, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Pouch Cove and Torbay. The communities that make up the district make up the northernmost suburban bedroom communities of the St. John's metro area.
The district has been a Tory stronghold for over 40 years.
