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

For governance purposes it is part of the Greater Miramichi[5] and Kent rural districts,[6] which are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission and Kent RSC respectively.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Baie Ste. Anne, Black River-Hardwicke, Escuminac, and the parish of Hardwicke.[8] The reforms put Black River-Hardwicke and the Miramichi Bay islands of the parish LSD in the Greater Miramichi rural district, with the remainder going to Kent.
