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

The parish consists of two discontiguous portions, separated by Saint-Joseph Parish. For governance purposes, the southwestern portion is divided between the city of Edmundston[5] and the town of Haut-Madawaska;[5] the northeastern portion is part of the Northwest rural district.[6] All three bodies are part of the Northwest Regional Service Commission.[7]

Before the 2023 governance reform, the northeastern portion of the parish formed the local service district of the parish of Madawaska.[8]
