New Haven is an inlet in the Falkland Islands. It is situated on the west coast of East Falkland, facing Falkland Sound, the stretch of water which divides East Falkland from West Falkland. There is a colony of gentoo penguins.{{cite web |title=New Haven - Things to Do in the Falkland Islands |url=https://www.falklandislands.com/things-to-do/new-haven-p676651 |website=www.falklandislands.com |access-date=10 November 2021}}

New Haven has become notable as the eastern terminus of the new ferry service linking the two islands. A modern roll-on-roll-off ferry terminal was constructed at New Haven at a cost of £1.5 million—the largest project so far undertaken by the Public Works Department of the Falkland Islands Government.{{cite web |title=New Falklands ferry terminal |url=http://www.worldcargonews.com/htm/w20081213.682985.htm |access-date=10 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402173603/http://www.worldcargonews.com/htm/w20081213.682985.htm |website=WorldCargo News |archive-date=2 April 2015 |date=13 December 2008}} The terminal was opened in a ceremony in November 2008 after 12 months of construction.{{cite web |title=New ferry terminal opens in Falklands |url=https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/btn20081120123448161/ |website=Breaking Travel News |access-date=10 November 2021 |date=20 November 2008}}

The ferry serving the route is the MV Concordia Bay, which is based at New Haven. It runs a regular service from the terminal to Port Howard on West Falkland since July 2008, carrying lorries, cars and people. The ferry is owned and operated by Workboat Services Ltd.{{cite web |title=Falklands' Concordia Bay Ferry service rescheduled due to maintenance repairs |url=https://en.mercopress.com/2017/11/22/falklands-concordia-bay-ferry-service-rescheduled-due-to-maintenance-repairs |website=MercoPress |access-date=10 November 2021 |date=22 November 2017}}
