Escuminac (French pronunciation: [ɛskyminak]) is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, on the north shore of the Restigouche River.

According to missionary Joseph-Étienne Guinard, Escuminac is a Mi'kmaq word meaning "here are small fruits", originally identifying a point of land jutting into the Restigouche River.

It has been spelled in various ways over time, including Semenac, Scamanac, Scaumenac, Escouminac, Scoumenac, and Scouminac.

[1] The area was first colonized by American Loyalist farmers and loggers.

It was named after John Shoolbred, who was the first owner of the seignory granted there.
