Rapide-Danseur () is a municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada, in the Abitibi-Ouest Regional County Municipality. It covers 173.73 km2 and had a population of 380 as of the 2021 Canadian census.
The municipality was incorporated on January 1, 1981. It owes its name to a waterfall found on the Duparquet River between Lake Duparquet and Lake Abitibi. The natives called it “opacicicimosik” which means “where we stop to dance, to stretch ourselves”, this after having done portage.
