Pioneer Coal Limited is a Canadian mining company based in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

It was founded in 1980 by John Chisholm, owner of Nova Construction Company Limited. The company currently operates two open pit coal mines:

Both open pit mines are being operated in areas which used to have underground mining operations. After surface mining has been completed, the land is reclaimed for other uses.

In 2014 the company began a feasibility study to evaluate an additional surface coal mine near Springhill, Nova Scotia.
