Westfield is a geographic parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the town of Grand Bay-Westfield and the local service district of the parish of Westfield,[3] both of which were members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC).[4] Westfield included the taxing authorities of Westfield East and Westfield West, which are sometimes erroneously described as LSDs in their own right.
