Le Pré-Saint-Gervais (French pronunciation: [lə pʁe sɛ̃ ʒɛʁvɛ] ; simply known by locals as Le Pré, i.e. "the meadow") is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 5.2 km (3.2 mi) from the center of Paris. With a density of 25,643 inhabitants per square kilometres as of 2017, Le Pré-Saint-Gervais is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe.

In 1767, Johann Schobert, a German composer at the Palace of Versailles went mushroom picking with his family in Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, and died after insisting on eating them in a soup after two chefs told him that they were poisonous.

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighboring communes. On that occasion, a large part of the commune of Le Pré-Saint-Gervais was annexed to Paris, and forms now the neighborhood of Pré-Saint-Gervais, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, leaving Le Pré-Saint-Gervais as a rump commune.

The arms of Le Pré-Saint-Gervais are blazoned : Vert, 5 barrulets wavy in base and a ram's head argent, horned Or.
