Saint-Louis (originally Palmerston) is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Beaurivage[5] and the Kent rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission.[7] The rural district areas are Kouchibouguac National Park in the east and the western end of the parish.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Saint-Ignace and the parish of Saint-Louis, which included an area with amended services named Canisto Road.[8]
