Saint-Jérôme () (2021 population 80,213) is a suburban city located about northwest of Montreal on the Rivière du Nord. It is part of the North Shore sector of Greater Montreal. It is a gateway to the Laurentian Mountains and its resorts via the Autoroute des Laurentides.

The town is named after Saint Jerome (ca. 347 – September 30, 420), a Church Father best known as the translator of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin. His translation is known as the Vulgate.
