Baie-Sainte-Anne (2011 population: 1,387)[1] is a rural community in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.

It is an acadian community located on the southern shore of Miramichi Bay near its opening into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Possibly named for Sainte-Anne, patroness of the Micmacs.[2] Peat farming and lobster processing are the area's major sources of income.

The former local service district of Baie Ste. Anne took its name from this community but spelt it differently.[3]
