Saint-Jacques is a geographic parish in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish consists of two discontiguous portions separated by Saint-Joseph Parish.
For governance purposes the southwestern portion is divided between the city of Edmundston, which includes the tier of grants on either side of the Madawaska River, and the Northwest rural district; the northeastern portion is part of the rural district. Both city and rural district are members of the Northwest Regional Service Commission.
Before the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Edmundston and the local service district of the parish of Saint-Jacques, part of which was annexed by Edmundston in the reform.
