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

For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Salisbury, the village of Three Rivers,[5] and the Southeast rural district.[6] All are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between a much smaller village of Salisbury, the village of Petitcodiac,[8] and the local service district of the parish of Salisbury, part of which was included in the special service area of Havelock Inside, which extended from the LSD of the parish of Havelock.[9] Petitcodiac is now part of Three Rivers.
