Napan, New Brunswick
Napan is a community in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, approximately north of Moncton. It is near Chatham, a neighbourhood of Miramichi, accessible from Highway 11. Running through the community is the Napan River, and four bridges cross the river at various points: at Hannah Lane, Highway 11, Johnston Lane, and Highway 117.

Despite its relatively small size, Napan is home to Carmel United Church, Napan Elementary School (K–5), and the Napan Community Centre (which has hosted the Napan Agricultural Show since 1992 and is the site of many community gatherings).
