Balmoral is a civil parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

For governance purposes it is divided between the villages of Atholville,[3] Balmoral,[3] Charlo, and Eel River Crossing;[3] the Indian reserve of Moose Meadows 4; and the local service districts of Balmoral-St. Maure, Blair Athol, and the parish of Balmoral,[4][a] all of which except the Indian reserve are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission (RRSC).[6] As of the 2021 census, the parish has a population of 309.[1]
