Grimmer is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is part of the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick,[5] which is a member of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[6]

Before the 2023 governance reform, the local service district (LSD) of White's Brook straddled the eastern boundary of the parish along Route 17.[7] Most of the parish formed the LSD of the parish of Grimmer until its merger with the village of Kedgwick on 1 July 2012 to form the rural community.[8]
