Coteau-du-Lac is a small city in southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality.

The name of the town comes from the French word Coteau which meant "slope" and from its location on the north shore of Lake Saint Francis.[5] The National Historic Site of Canada of the Coteau-du-Lac canal is the location of the first canal lock system in North America. The city has an industrial park. In mid-2013, around 120 people were temporarily evacuated, and 2 people died after an explosion in the local fireworks factory.[6]

The population was 7,044 as of the 2016 Canadian Census.[4]
