Robertville is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.[1]

Situated northwest of the outskirts of Bathurst, it is mostly surrounded by forest. Among other communities in the surroundings are Beresford, Petit Rocher, Nigadoo, North Tetagouche, South Tetagouche, Pointe Verte, and Rough Waters.

The elementary school of Robertville is École La Croisée De Robertville ("La Croisée" is French for "The Crossing", referring to the four corners intersection where the school is situated and was named by a student (Jason Mansour) after he won a contest to find the school a name).

Established in 1884 by a Roman Catholic priest by the name of François-Antoine Robert, its residents are predominantly francophone.

French people from Robertville (and the surroundings) generally go to École Secondaire Népisiguit (ESN - The French Highscool) in the City of Bathurst, and the few English people from Robertville (and the surroundings, predominantly in Bathurst) go to Bathurst High School (BHS).
