2021 New Brunswick municipal elections

Municipal elections were held in the Canadian province of New Brunswick on May 10, 2021. They were originally supposed to be held May 11, 2020, but were postponed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Brunswick. Furthermore, elections in some municipalities in Northwestern New Brunswick were held on May 25 due to those areas being under lockdown. Elections were also held for district education councils and regional health authorities (Horizon Health Network and Vitalité Health Network), and there were two plebiscites (annexation of the town and parish of Saint-Quentin and allowing people to own hens for non-commercial purposes in Blacks Harbour).
