Balmoral (2011 population: 1,719) is a Canadian village in Restigouche County, New Brunswick. It is located approximately 10 kilometres south of Dalhousie. Although Balmoral's population presently meets the requirements for "town" status under the Municipalities Act of the Province of New Brunswick, the community has not yet made any change to its municipal status. The village also contains the neighbourhoods of Blair Athol, Saint-Maure, Selwood, and Upper Balmoral.
The area was settled in the 1850s by Joseph Drapeau. When a later contingent of settlers from Scotland arrived, they gave the community its present name after Balmoral Castle.
