Nelson is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.
For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Miramichi, the village of Nouvelle-Arcadie, the incorporated rural community of Miramichi River Valley, and the Greater Miramichi rural district. All are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission except Nouvelle-Arcadie, which is part of the Kent RSC.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Miramichi and the local service district of the parish of Nelson; an area upstream of O'Toole Crescent was part of the LSD.
