Woodlands is a village on the north-west shore of Montserrat, running down to a beach, in Woodlands Bay. It is in the Parish of Saint Peter, north of Old Towne.

The Governor's residence, Government House, stands in Woodlands, built here after the destruction of the original Government House in Plymouth.

The Montserrat Volcano Observatory stands in the hills above the village, which is not far from the current exclusion zone covering the south of the island.
