Brighton is a parish in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish was established in 1830.

The area of the parish is 508.34 km2 (196.27 sq mi) and the population in 2011 was 1,764. There were 807 dwellings counted. The population density was calculated at 3.5/km2 (9/sq mi). The population was considered to be 95% English-speaking.
