Havelock, New Brunswick is a Canadian rural community in Kings County, New Brunswick.

Havelock was named after Sir Henry Havelock and was previously known as Butternut Ridge.

Havelock is at the junction of Route 885 and Route 880.

The community is situated on a large lime deposit and its extraction has driven the local economy, beginning with a Lafarge cement plant constructed in the 1960s and current mothballed since the early 1990s.

Havelock was the birthplace of famous creationist George McCready Price.
