Upper Burgeo is an abandoned settlement in the La Poile District. It was located 3 – 4 km west of Burgeo on Cornelius Island. Burgeo, which still exists today, was then called Lower Burgeo.

It was settled prior to 1796.[1] There were people still living there in 1871,[2] but there is no reference to Upper Burgeo in the 1921 Newfoundland census.[3] Today, there are only a few cabins on Cornelius Island.
