Tickle Cove is a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, located north west of Catalina, in Bonavista Bay. The first postmaster was John Maloney. The population was 115 in 1951. The 2013 comedy The Grand Seduction was filmed in Tickle Cove, and its setting of Tickle Head is based on the settlement.

Tickle Cove is the subject of the folk song "Tickle Cove Pond" by Mark Walker, who was born in Tickle Cove in 1846.[1]
