L'Île-Dorval is a municipality in southwestern Quebec, Canada, in Lac Saint-Louis off of the Island of Montreal.
A cottaging spot, it had only two permanent residents as of the 1996 census, making it the smallest municipality in Canada both in area and population. By the 2001 census the official population had dropped to zero, according to Statistics Canada. However, because, beside residents, property owners are also eligible to vote in municipal elections in Québec, there were 50 registered voters in 2004. It is connected to the Island of Montreal with a seasonal ferry service.
On January 1, 2002, it merged with the city of Montreal to become part of the borough of Dorval–L'Île-Dorval. On June 20, 2004, it voted to return to being an independent municipality, effective January 1, 2006.
