Saint Croix is a geographic parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[5] straddling Route 1 to the north of the original town of Saint Andrews.

For governance purposes, all of the parish south of Route 1 is part of the post-reform town of Saint Andrews,[6] the Board Road area is part of the town of the Municipal District of St. Stephen,[6] and the remainder north of Route 1 is part of the Southwest rural district,[7] all of which are members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[8]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised two local service districts,[9] both of which were members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[10]

The Census subdivision of the same name includes the entire parish, while the former LSD of Bayside is used as a Designated place.[1]
