Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière was a former regional county municipality and census division in Quebec. It ceased to exist when most of it, along with most of Desjardins Regional County Municipality, amalgamated into the expanded city of Lévis on January 1, 2002.
Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière RCM consisted of:
- Charny
- Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon
- Saint-Jean-Chrysostome
- Saint-Nicolas
- Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon
- Saint-Rédempteur
- Saint-Romuald
- Sainte-Hélène-de-Breakeyville
When Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière RCM was dissolved, nearly all of its components amalgamated into the newly expanded Lévis. Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Redempteur comprised the borough of Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière-Ouest; Charny, Saint-Jean-Chrysostome, Saint-Romuald, and Sainte-Hélène-de-Breakeyville comprised the borough of Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière-Est; Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon remained independent and joined La Nouvelle-Beauce Regional County Municipality.
