Saint James is a geographic parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[4] located north of St. Stephen.

For governance purposes, Little Ridge and areas to the south are part of the town of the Municipal District of St. Stephen,[5] while the rest of the parish is part of the Southwest rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised one local service district (LSD) and part of a second, both of which were members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[8]

The Census subdivision of the same name shares the parish's borders.[1]
