Saint-Léolin is a former village on the Acadian Peninsula in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada. It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the town of Rivière-du-Nord.

On 1 January 2023, Saint-Léolin amalgamated with the three other villages and all or part of four local service districts to form the new of Rivière-du-Nord.[2][3] The community's name remains in official use.[4]
