Repentigny (French pronunciation: [ʁəpɑ̃tiɲi] ⓘ) is an off-island suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located north of the city on the lower end of the L'Assomption River, and on the St. Lawrence River. Repentigny and Charlemagne were the first towns off the eastern tip of the Island of Montreal. Repentigny is part of the Lanaudière region.
Repentigny was also the western terminus of the Chemin du Roy, a road that extends eastward towards Quebec City.
