Clairmont is a hamlet in northern Alberta, Canada within the County of Grande Prairie No. 1.[2] Previously an incorporated municipality, Clairmont dissolved from village status on January 1, 1946 to become part of the Municipal District of Bear Lake No. 740.[3]

Clairmont is located in the Peace Country, along Highway 2, approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) north of Grande Prairie and 9 km (5.6 mi) south of Sexsmith.

Clairmont lies at an elevation of 685 m (2,247 ft), on the western shore of Clairmont Lake.[4] Initially the area was commonly known as Twin Lakes.[5] The first use of the name "Clairmont" was in 1907 by the earliest surveyor of the township boundaries, JB Saint Cyr.[6]
