Main-à-Dieu (population 242) is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Cape Breton Regional Municipality. It is the most easterly community in Nova Scotia.
Main-à-Dieu has a rich history tied to both its French origins and its role in the region's maritime industry. It was originally settled by French fishermen in the 17th century, likely attracted by the abundance of fish in the area's waters. These early settlers engaged in the lucrative cod fishery, establishing a thriving fishing community.
