Wellington is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.
For governance purposes it is divided between the towns of Champdoré and Grand-Bouctouche, the village of Five Rivers, and the incorporated rural community of Beausoleil, all of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission, and the Buctouche 16 Indian reserve, which is not.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the town of Bouctouche, the Indian reserve, the incorporated rural community of Cocagne, and the local service districts of Grand Saint-Antoine, Sainte-Anne-de-Kent and the parish of Wellington, which included areas with enhanced services named Bouctouche Cove, Desroches, Dixon Point-Route 134, Wellington - Dixon Point-Route 134, and Saint-Grégoire. Bouctouche and Sainte-Anne-de-Kent became part of Grand-Bouctouche, Grand Saint-Antoine part of Champdoré, Cocagne part of Beaulsoleil, and the LSD of the parish of Wellington was split between all four new municipalities.
