The New England-Acadian forests are a temperate broadleaf and mixed forest ecoregion in North America that includes a variety of habitats on the hills, mountains and plateaus of New England and New York State in the Northeastern United States, and Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada.

In eastern Canada, there is a growing movement to refer to this forest type as the Wabanaki forest in recognition of the area's indigenous inhabitants, who did not cede or surrender their traditional territories in the region when the Acadians and New Englanders arrived.
