Goose Green is a settlement on East Falkland in the Falkland Islands. It lies on Choisel Sound , on the east side of the island's central isthmus.

The settlement grew after it became the base for the Falkland Islands Company 's sheep farm in Lafonia in 1922 and retains that role.

Goose Green was attacked during the Falklands War. Over one hundred islanders were imprisoned in the community hall, while over 1,000 Argentinean army troops occupied the settlement and nearby Darwin. It was then the site of the Battle of Goose Green with casualties on both sides, and the area is still heavily mined.

Goose Green is home to a shop, while other attractions include the nearby Bodie Suspension Bridge and the Vicar of Bray shipwreck, which participated in the San Francisco gold rush .
