Paradise is a town on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is adjacent on the east to the City of St. John's and the City of Mount Pearl, to the north by the Town of Portugal Cove-St. Philip's on Conception Bay, and to the west by the town of Conception Bay South.

According to the 2006 Statistics Canada Census:
*Population: 12,584
*% Change (2001-2006): 31.1
*Dwellings: 4,734
*Area (km².): 29.24
*Density (persons per km².): 430.4

10 km from St. John's International Airport.

While parts of Paradise have been inhabited since the late nineteenth-century, its growth only took off in the 1960s and 1970s as a "bedroom community" of nearby St. John's, and has grown at a rapid pace since. In the early 1990s, the Town of Paradise was amalgamated with the Town of St. Thomas. Other developed areas which had previously been administered by the St. John's Metropolitan Board, an agency of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, were also amalgamated with Paradise. These areas are Three Island Pond, Topsail Pond, Elizabeth Park, and Evergreen Village. Recently, Paradise has been identified by Statistics Canada as the fastest-growing municipality in Atlantic Canada.
