Saint-Quentin is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Saint-Quentin,[5] the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick,[5] and the Northwest rural district,[6] both members of the Northwest Rural Service Commission.[7]

Before the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between a much smaller town of Saint-Quentin and local service districts of St. Martin de Restigouche and the parish of Saint-Quentin.[8] In the reform, St. Martin de Restigouche was annexed by Saint-Quentin while the parish LSD was divided by the town, rural community, and rural district.
