Juniper (2001 population 450) is a hamlet in Aberdeen parish of Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. It is situated on Route 107, which runs from Route 105 at Bristol, northeast to Juniper.

The local economy is largely forestry-based, with a modern lumber mill operated Juniper Lumber which employs 250 peopel in New Brunswick. Another enterprise is a tree nursery. The economy also benefits from some hunting and fishing-related tourism, as the village is on the South Branch of the Southwest Miramichi River, renowned for its salmon and trout fishing.

Juniper was established in 1914 as a lumbering centre by James Kidd Flemming (1868-1927). Flemming was Premier of New Brunswick from 1911 to 1914 and the Flemming family ran a lumber mill in the village. His son, Hugh John Flemming (1899-1982) took over the business and also entered politics, serving as Premier of New Brunswick from 1952 to 1960.
