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

For governance, it is entirely part of the incorporated rural community of Miramichi River Valley,[5] which is a member of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission.[6]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between local service districts of Renous-Quarryville and the parish of Derby.[7]
