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

For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Neguac,[5] the Indian reserves of Esgenoôpetitj 14 and Tabusintac 9, the incorporated rural community of Alnwick,[6] and the regional municipality of Tracadie.[5] Neguac and Tracadie are members of the Acadian Peninsula Regional Service Commission, while Alnwick is a member of the Greater Miramichi RSC.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the rural community of Alnwick was divided between four local service districts: Fair Isle, Oak Point - Bartibog Bridge, Tabusintac, and the parish of Alnwick, which also included the islands that are now part of Neguac.[8]
