Pincourt is a municipality on the island of Île Perrot, off the western tip of the island of Montreal, Quebec. The population as of the Canada 2006 Census was 11,197. The town shares the island with the three other municipalities of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, Terrasse Vaudreuil and L'Île-Perrot, bordering on each one. The south end of the Ottawa River (Rivière des Outaouais) flows between Vaudreuil-Dorion and Pincourt, defining the town's western boundary.
Many houses, condos and townhouses are newly built as the town has currently undergone a building boom, which also included the opening of the new francophone Chêne-Bleu high school (École secondaire du Chêne-Bleue). Furthermore, the municipality has two bilingual primary schools and one French primary school. There are also several parks and natural protected areas open throughout the year for recreation.
