New Britain ( Tok Pisin: "Niu Briten"), is the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago (named after Otto von Bismarck) of Papua New Guinea. It is separated from the island of New Guinea by the Dampier and Vitiaz Straits and from New Ireland by St. George's Channel. The main towns of New Britain are Rabaul/ Kokopo and Kimbe. The island is roughly the size of Taiwan.
While the island was part of German New Guinea, it was named Neupommern ("New Pomerania").

New Britain is the sixth album by Whitehouse released in 1982 by Come Organisation.

It was reissued on compact disc in 1996 through Susan Lawly.
New Britain was a historical term of limited usage, referring in its day to the poorly mapped lands north of 17th-century New France. The name applied primarily to today's Nunavik and Labrador interiors, though in the 18th century this had grown to include all of the mainland shores of Hudson Bay and James Bay north of The Canadas. The district would come to be loosely divided into the territories of New South Wales, New North Wales and Labrador. The name Labrador predates mention of the other names by more than a century.
