Saint Martins is a geographic parish in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes the bulk of the parish is divided between the village of Fundy-St. Martins[5] and the Fundy rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission.[7] A minor portion on the east resides in Fundy Albert, which is a member of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[8]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided for governance purposes between the village of St. Martins and the local service district of the parish of Saint Martins,[9] both of which were members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC).[10]
