Mascouche (; ) is an off-island suburb of Montreal, in southern Quebec, Canada. The city is located on the Mascouche River within the Les Moulins Regional County Municipality and has a population of 51,183, ranking 20th among Quebec municipalities.

The name comes from Algonquin word maskutchew meaning "bear plain" in singular. Compare plural form to maskutew for the Les Maskoutains Regional County Municipality located nearby.

History

Mascouche (then known as Saint-Henri-de-Mascouche) received city status on December 9, 1970, under mayor Gilles Forest.

On June 21, 2021, the city was struck by an EF2 tornado, killing one person.

Infrastructure

Montréal/Mascouche Airport, the largest regional airport in Quebec, was three kilometres southeast of the city. It has now been replaced by the CentrOparc, a business district with the ambition of joining a transit-oriented urban development (DOT).

Autoroutes 640 and 25, both major national transportation routes, meet just south of the centre of the city.

Mascouche is connected to Montreal's Central Station by commuter rail via the Mascouche station of the Réseau de transport métropolitain's Mascouche line.

L'Étang-du-Grand-Coteau, an urban park situated in the city centre on Mascouche Boulevard, has the same area as Mount Royal Park in Montreal.
