Burton is a geographic parish in Sunbury County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the town of Oromocto, the Indian reserve of Oromocto 26, CFB Gagetown, and the local service district of the parish of Burton.[3] The town and LSD were both members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11).[4]
