Carleton is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is mainly part of the Kent rural district,[5] which is a member of the Kent Regional Service Commission.[6] Small areas on the southern and western boundaries belong to the town of Beaurivage and the village of Nouvelle-Arcadie, respectively.[a]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Pointe-Sapin, east of the national park, and the parish of Carleton, to its west.[8]
