Moncton is a geographic parish in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the cities of Dieppe and Moncton; the town of Salisbury; the incorporated rural communities of Beausoleil and Maple Hills;[5] the Metepenagiag 3 Urban Reserve, Metepenagiag 8 Urban Reserve, and Soegao 35 Indian reserves; and the Southeast rural district.[6] The municipalities and the rural district are all members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the local service district of the parish of Moncton, which included the special service areas of Calhoun Road, Greater Lakeburn, Irishtown, and Painsec Junction, included all of the parish outside Dieppe, Moncton, and Salisbury, and post-reform parts of Dieppe and Moncton.[8]
