List of former municipalities in Quebec

The Province of Quebec currently has 1,128 local municipalities including 233 cities, 655 municipalities and 42 villages, 131 parishes ans 42 townships.^[1] In addition, there are 327 communities that previously held some form of urban municipality status. These include 121 former cities or towns, 102 regular municipalities, 52 villages, 43 parishes and 9 townships. These communities no longer exist as independent urban municipalities due to amalgamation, annexation or dissolution.

In the context of this list, "annexed" means that the former municipality disappeared after being annexed by an existing municipality or following the creation of a new municipality formed under the bases and with the institutions of an existing municipality. Meanwhile, "merged" means that the former municipality was merged with one or multiple municipalities to form a new municipality. Usually, unlike annexed municipalities, none of the merged municipalities is considered to be the legitimate successor of the new municipality. In both cases, some of these former municipalities still have a special status within the current municipalities that they are part of. For example, like a borough, district or neighbourhood.
