Grand Falls-Windsor is a town on the island of Newfoundland.

In 1768, Lieutenant John Cartwright, while following the Exploits River through the Exploits Valley, named the waterfall he found “Grand Falls”; however, it took until 1905 before the town of Grand Falls was established. Grand Falls-Windsor was incorporated in 1991 when the two former towns of Grand Falls and Windsor amalgamated.   The town is home to the annual Exploits Valley Salmon Festival.
