Saint-Léolin is a former village on the Acadian Peninsula in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada. It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the town of Rivière-du-Nord.

History

The first settler in the village was Joseph Bertin in the early 19th century. The village was originally named Saint-Joseph, but changed in 1904 to avoid confusion with another Saint-Joseph near Memramcook.

On 1 January 2023, Saint-Léolin amalgamated with the three other villages and all or part of four local service districts to form the new of Rivière-du-Nord.^[2]^[3] The community's name remains in official use.^[4]
