Oderin Island is an island in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador in western Placentia Bay, located about 30 km northeast of Marystown. Initially recorded as a fishing post of the French and later an outpost of the English, the island came to be inhabited at some time before 1704.[1] The island no longer has any permanent residents due to a resettlement program in 1966.
