'Dieppe' (2006 population: 18,565) is a Canadian city in Westmorland County, New Brunswick.
Dieppe is located on the Petitcodiac River east of the adjacent city of Moncton. It forms the northeastern part of the Greater Moncton Area, which also includes Moncton and Riverview, as well as adjacent rural areas in Westmorland County.
Although once considered a suburban bedroom community, Dieppe is now the fastest growing municipality in the province with an economy centred on the transportation, service and logistics industries.

Originally known as 'Léger Corner', Dieppe received its present name upon incorporation as a town in 1946 in honour of the Canadian soldiers killed in the 1942 Dieppe Raid in Dieppe, France. In 2003 Dieppe's municipal status was changed from a town to a city, in part to avoid amalgamation with Moncton.
Dieppe is the location of the following institutions and attractions:

★ Champlain Place, the largest shopping centre in the province (also the largest single-story mall east of Montreal)

★ Crystal Palace amusement park, an indoor amusement park.

★ Greater Moncton International Airport, the busiest airport in the province.
Dieppe is currently building a new downtown core at the intersection of Acadia Avenue and Champlain Street; the development includes a new municipal building, a new farmers market, and an office complex.
