Northumberland was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It roughly encompassed Northumberland County, New Brunswick. The district used a bloc voting system to elect multiple members. It was abolished in the 1973 electoral redistribution when the province moved to first-past-the-post single-member ridings.
