Back Bay is an unincorporated settlement in New Brunswick, Canada on the shore of a bay of the same name in the Bay of Fundy.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture at the site includes Atlantic cod,[1] saccharina latissima (sugar kelp), alaria esculenta (winged kelp), blue mussels, and Atlantic salmon, produced in a collaborative project by the University of New Brunswick and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Cooke Aquaculture.[2]

In 1866 Back Bay was a fishing and farming community, with a population of about 30 resident families. The population had grown by 1871 to approximately 200 people. And in 1898 Back Bay was a port of entry with one post office, two stores, two churches and a population of 300.[3]

It is the site of the Back Bay Elementary School.[4]
