The Royal Saint Lawrence Yacht Club is a historic yacht club located in Dorval, Quebec on the shore of Lake St. Louis.
Created in 1888 by a group of men from the Amateur Athletic Association, the club quickly grew, and in 1894 Her Majesty Queen Victoria granted it the title "Royal". In 1954 the Duke of Edinburgh further extended his royal patronage to the club.
