Aberdeen is a parish in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish was established in 1869. The parish did not contain any incorporated municipalities, but included several communities and settlements.

The area of the parish is 447.91 km2 (172.94 sq mi) and the population in 2011 was 981. There were 470 dwellings counted. The population density was calculated at 2.2/km2 (6/sq mi). The population was more than 90% English-speaking and 1% were of the First Nations.

The parish was created from Kent Parish and Brighton Parish in 1863 and probably named for George Hamilton Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen (1784-1860) and prime minister of England from 1852-1855: He was the father of Arthur Charles Hamilton Gordon (1829-1912), who was first Baron Stanmore (1829-1912) and lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick from 1861-1866.
