The Salkeld Islands (also called The Brothers) are two undeveloped islands in the Pennfield Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy. The islands are named after John Salkeld, a Loyalist from Florida who settled in Mace's Bay in 1784 lending his name to a small settlement on the mainland.
In 1992, the Salkeld Islands were gifted to the provincial government by Saint John Terminals Ltd.
Bordered by high cliffs and covered in grass, the two islands form a Protected Natural Area. They are nesting grounds for Black-backed gulls, Herring gulls, Eider ducks, Oldsquaw, Common Golldeneye, Great Cormorants and Double-crested Cormorants. They are an important nesting site for eider ducks.
