Notre-Dame-de-Montauban (French pronunciation: [nɔtʁə dam də mɔ̃tobɑ̃]) is a municipality in the Mauricie region in Quebec, Canada. The municipality is on the northern edge of Mékinac Regional County Municipality and the administrative region of Mauricie and includes the population centres of Notre-Dame-des-Anges and Montauban-les-Mines. Both communities are located along route 367 and are about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) apart.

Tourist activities and the resort are significant industries today. The marked trails for recreational vehicles (snowmobile, ATV, etc.), the hunting, fishing and forest walks attract many visitors. Nine out of the fall of the Batiscan River is the major tourist attraction. On the west bank, the municipality has built a beautiful park with a gateway to reach a large rock in the middle of the fall.

At Notre-Dame-de-Montauban, the population is approximately 850, with a median age of 45 years. The most significant age group is 25-44. In summer season, the population doubles because of country cottages. The town has two Catholic places of worship, the church of Notre-Dame-des-Anges (Our Lady of the Angels) and the chapel of Montauban.
