Cookshire-Eaton is a city in the Estrie region of Quebec. It is the seat of Le Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality. Sherbrooke Airport is located there.

As part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, on 24 July 2002 the city of Cookshire, the municipality of Newport and the township of Eaton were merged to form Cookshire-Eaton;{{cite web |url=http://stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/referenc/pdf/modjuillet02.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=stat.gouv.qc.ca |access-date=22 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230022827/http://stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/referenc/pdf/modjuillet02.pdf |archive-date=30 December 2006 |url-status=dead}} prior to this, on 25 April 2001, the village of Sawyerville had merged with Eaton.{{Cite web |url=http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/fiche.aspx?no_seq=58724 |title=Fiche descriptive}} After a 2004 referendum, however, Newport de-merged and was reconstituted as an independent municipality as of 1 January 2006.
