Hillsborough is a geographic parish in eastern Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes, Hillsborough is divided between the village of Fundy Albert,[5] which includes most of the parish, and the Southeast rural district;[6] both are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Hillsborough[8] and the local service district of the parish of Hillsborough.[9]
