Pasadena (/ˌpæsəˈdnə/) is an incorporated town located in census division 5 which is in the western portion of Newfoundland, Canada. The suburban community is situated on the shores of Deer Lake at the junction of the North Arm Valley and the Humber Valley.

The town was named after Pasadena, California. The meaning of the name, according to the municipal website of the Californian town, derives from the Ojibwe (Chippewa) word for "valley".[2][3]
