Fingal Bay is the easternmost suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[1] The only population centre is the township of the same name, which itself is named after the adjacent, small, semi-circular bay.[10] At the 2021 census, the population of the town was 1,635.[2]

Except for the township, most of Fingal Bay is included in the Tomaree National Park, which includes forested areas, coastal scrubland, beaches and most of the Fingal headland. The suburb does not include the bay itself.[3]
