Pushthrough (pop. 1966, 204) is a resettled fishing community located on Newfoundland's south coast, about 20 km northwest of Hermitage.

Permanent settlement at Pushthrough is said to date from 1814, when one George Chambers moved there from Gaultois to establish a fishing room and later mercantile premises. By the first Census in 1836 there were 12 families at Pushthrough and a population of 82. By 1845 the community had a population of 98 and a school. By 1884 there was a population of 209 and a Church of England school and church. In 1888 the community received its first post office, as well as a new church and school.

By 1901 the population of Pushthrough reached 235, based on the prosperity of the local coasting trade and the Bank and lobster fisheries. Increasingly in the early part of the twentieth century Pushthrough became an inshore fishing community, although a significant number of residents continued to find work as seamen in the coasting trade or at the Bank fishery out of other ports.

The population in 1961 (247) was the largest ever recorded at Pushthrough. However movement of young families away from the community, to Gaultois in the 1950s and in the 1960s to Head of Bay d'Espoir and area, led to a decision in 1967 to close a section of the school and it was rumoured that the next year the school would be reduced to a single room. Meanwhile, changes in the resettlement program made relocation a more attractive option financially and meant that resettlement no longer required unanimous consent from the community. In the spring and summer of 1968 virtually all the families with children of school age moved. The largest number (58 people) went to Milltown-Head of Bay d'Espoir and others to Hermitage, Fortune, Burgeo and Gaultois.
