The local municipality ({{Langx|fr|municipalité locale}}) is the lowest unit of local government in Quebec, Canada and is distinguished from the higher-level regional county municipality, or RCM, a municipal government at the supralocal level.{{Cite web |title=Territorial Division Directory |url=https://statistique.quebec.ca/statistiques/divisions-territoriales/index_an.html |access-date=2022-09-12 |website=statistique.quebec.ca}}

Eight municipalities are further subdivided into boroughs.

There are also eleven agglomerations grouping a number of municipalities and exercising some of the powers that would be exercised by a municipality elsewhere in Quebec.

With the exception of some Aboriginal communities, municipalities are governed by the Towns and Cities Act and the Municipal Code of Québec.
