Senneville (French pronunciation: [sɛnvil]) is an affluent on-island suburban village on the western tip of the Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the wealthiest town in the West Island.[6]

Situated close to the city of Montreal, it was historically a popular location for the country houses of wealthy Montrealers.[7] Attractions include multiple golf clubs, a yacht club, and La Ferme du Fort Senneville,[8] an organic demonstration farm.[9] The Morgan Arboretum was founded here in 1953, and is today managed by Macdonald College; an important bird sanctuary, it is open to the public year-round.[10] Fort Senneville was constructed here in 1671, but its ruins are on private land and are not accessible to the public. The historic core of the village was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002.[11]
