Clarendon is a parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish was established in 1869 when it was named for George Frederick Villiers, 4th Earl of Clarendon, (1800-1870) and Foreign Secretary of England from 1853-1858 and from 1868-1870.

Since 1975 the entire parish is a single local service district. In this very thinly populated area the chief purpose of the local service district is to provide fire protection.

There are no incorporated municipalities in Clarendon. Two named settlements are Back Clarendon and Clarendon. The area of the parish is 492.91 km2 (190.31 sq mi) and the population in 2011 was 52, a decrease of 26.8% from 2006. There were 64 dwellings counted. The population density was calculated at 0.1/km2 (0.3/sq mi).


NOTE: There is also a settlement named Clarendon in Queens County.
