Saint-Léolin (2011 pop.: 684) is a Canadian village in Gloucester County, New Brunswick. The Village is located on the Acadian Peninsula.


The first settler to 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.

The village was incorporated in 1978.
