Labrador Sea (French: mer du Labrador) is an arm of the North Atlantic Ocean between Labrador and Greenland. Water depths in the center of Labrador Sea are around 3.

The Labrador Sea probably formed by sea-floor spreading that started around 61 million years ago and stopped about 40 million years ago. There is an earlier history of basin formation on all margins.
