Rue de la Commune (English: De la Commune Street) is a road in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada which is well used both by Montrealers and by tourists, since it is the home of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum and the Old Port of Montreal. It also extends eastward into the Gay Village, and westward into Griffintown, where it turns north to Wellington Street and becomes the beginning of Peel Street. The road follows the original shore of the Saint Lawrence River. The buildings along the north side of the road are former commercial buildings.
