Sackville (45°54'N 64°22'W, AST) is a town in Westmorland County, located in South-Eastern New Brunswick, Canada, only eight km from the Nova Scotia border and 45 km from the regional city of Moncton. In 2001 it had a population of 5,361 people, almost all English-speaking.

Sackville is the home of Mount Allison University. The town is located on the western fringe of the Tantramar Marshes, tidal wetlands partially transformed to farmland by dykes first built by the original Acadians settlers of the region in the 17th century. The marshes remain one of the largest tidal wetlands in the world. In the centre of the town, an area of the wetlands has been developed and designated as the Sackville Waterfowl Park. The park has many walking trails and boardwalks for wildlife observation. Radio Canada International's short-wave transmitting station is located on the marshes just outside town.

The Greater Moncton International Airport (YQM) is located about 37 km north of town.
