Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (French pronunciation: [lə plato mɔ̃ ʁwajal]) is a borough (arrondissement) of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The borough takes its name from its location on a plateau, on the eastern side of Mount Royal and overlooking downtown Montreal, across its southern border. The borough is bordered to the south by Sherbrooke Street, to the north and north-east by the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, and to the west by Hutchison (north of Mount Royal Avenue), Park Avenue (between Mount Royal and Pine Avenue) and University Street (south of Pine Avenue). It is the most densely populated borough in Canada, with 101,054 people living in an 8.1 square kilometre (3¼ sq. mi.) area.

There is a difference between the borough named Plateau-Mont-Royal (which is a political division of the City of Montreal) and the neighbourhood referred to as the Plateau. The borough includes not only the Plateau neighbourhood itself, but also the neighbourhoods of Mile End (bounded by Avenue du Mont-Royal to the south and the Avenue Henri-Julien to the east) and Milton Park (bounded by University, Sherbrooke, Saint-Laurent and Pine). The latter two neighbourhoods are generally considered to be distinct from the Plateau neighbourhood.

The Plateau is famous for being a major centre for the arts, with a large concentration of artists,^[8] musicians and creative organizations. Many artistic institutions are established in the Plateau, including the National Theatre School of Canada, the Quebec Conservatory of Music in Montreal, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and many theatres (such as le Rideau vert, le Théâtre de Quat'Sous, La Licorne and le Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui). The Plateau has many parks, including Jeanne-Mance park, La Fontaine park, Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier park, Saint-Louis Square and Gérald-Godin plaza. Mount Royal Park is also accessible from the Plateau-Mont-Royal.

Due to its large concentration of French immigrants who arrived in the early twenty first century, the neighbourhood has been named "Le Petit Paris",^[9] "La Petite-France", ^[10] or ironically "La Nouvelle-France".^[11]
