Alma is a geographic parish on the Bay of Fundy in the southwestern corner of Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes, Alma is divided between the village of Fundy Albert[5] and the Southeast rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7] A small area on the western side of Fundy National Park belongs to the Fundy rural district.[a]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Alma[9] and the local service district of the parish of Alma.[10] Fundy National Park was de jure part of the LSD. The village and the park are now part of Fundy Albert, the LSD part of the rural district.

The census subdivision of the same name includes all of the parish[1] except the village of Alma, which forms its own census subdivision. The population of the parish CSD is so small that census numbers are rounded to maintain privacy. Revised census figures based on the 2023 local governance reforms have not been released.
