Francheville Regional County Municipality
Francheville was a former regional county municipality in the Mauricie region of Quebec, Canada. Prior to its dissolution, it had an area of 1,124 square kilometres (434 sq mi).

The RCM was dissolved on December 31, 2001, when Saint-Étienne-des-Grès was transferred to the Maskinongé Regional County Municipality, the municipalities of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Pointe-du-Lac, Saint-Louis-de-France, Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap, Trois-Rivières and Trois-Rivières-Ouest were merged into the new City of Trois-Rivières, and the remaining municipalities became part of the new Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality.

Although the division no longer functions as a regional county municipality in the political sense, the amalgamated city of Trois-Rivières and the regional county municipality of Les Chenaux are still grouped together as the census division of Francheville by Statistics Canada for census purposes. The division had a population of 143,267 in the Canada 2006 Census.
