Saint-Léonard/St. Leonard (2001 population: 1,385) is a Canadian town in Madawaska County, New Brunswick.
The town is located on the east bank of the Saint John River opposite Van Buren, Maine, to which it is connected via the Saint Leonard-Van Buren Bridge.
The town's economy is driven by potato farming and a J.D. Irving Limited sawmill. St-Léonard is officially bilingual but predominantly a Francophone community. It has a single school: Ecole Grande-Riviere.
Nearby communities include Grand Falls, St-Quentin, and Edmundston.
St-Léonard was once a popular town when liquor was banned in the United-States because it was easy to get across the border illegally to Van Buren.
