Grand Falls is a geographic parish in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada;[2] the legal name in French is Grand-Sault,[3] the only parish with different legal English and French names.[a]

For governance purposes it is entirely within the town of Grand Falls,[4] which is a member of the Northwest Regional Service Commission.[5]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the town of Grand Falls was much smaller in area and the remainder of the parish formed the local service district of the parish of Grand Falls.[6]

The town of Grand Falls is treated separately from the parish in the Territorial Division Act,[2] the only instance of a municipality being separated from a parish. The town's modern municipal boundaries extend well beyond its description in the TDA.[7]
