Wakefield is a geographic parish in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada,[2] located north on the west bank of the Saint John River north of Woodstock.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was comprised two local service districts and part of a third, all of which were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[3]

The Census subdivision of Wakefield Parish shares the geographic parish's borders.[1]
