Coaticook (English: /koʊˈætɪkʊk/ koh-AT-ik-uuk, Quebec French: [kwat͡sɪˈkʊk]) is a town on the Coaticook River, located in southeastern Quebec, Canada. It resides in the region of Estrie, which is often referred to colloquially as the Eastern Townships. It is the seat of the Coaticook Regional County Municipality, and its southern border is also the Canada–United States border.

The town of Coaticook was initially settled in the 1820s by British Loyalists coming from New England. The town was incorporated in 1864, and the municipalities of Barnston Township and Barford Township were later merged into Coaticook on December 12, 1998. The absorption of these townships introduced multiple communities to Coaticook that exist to this day, including Baldwin's Mills, Barnston, Ladd's Mills and Stanhope. As of 2021, the population of the municipality of Coaticook was 8,867 with a total area of 222.73 square kilometres (86.00 mi²).

The town of Coaticook is principally known for the Laiterie de Coaticook, the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook and Foresta Lumina, which bring in a majority of the town's tourists.

The municipality is named after the Coaticook River. The name “Coaticook” is of Abenaki origin, deriving from the term koatikeku, meaning “where the river is bordered by white pines”.
