Colborne is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Heron Bay,[5] the Moose Meadows 4 Indian reserve, and the Restigouche rural district;[6] the town and rural district are both members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Charlo,[5] the Indian reserve, and the local service districts of Charleur and Lorne.[8] In the 2023 reform, Charlo merged with the town of Dalhousie to form Heron Bay, which annexed Heron Island and the communities of Benjamin River, Blackland, and New Mills from Chaleur;[5] Lorne and the remainder of Chaleur became part of the rural district.[6]
