The Îles Laval are an island grouping in the Rivière des Prairies in southwestern Quebec. Located southwest of Île Bizard between the Island of Montreal and Île Jésus, they include Île Bigras, Île Pariseau, Île Verte and Île Ronde.

Formerly an independent municipality (Les Îles-Laval), they became part of the city of Laval on August 6, 1965.

The Deux-Montagnes commuter train line crosses the islands, which are served by Île-Bigras station. A road bridge links the islands with the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, on Île Jésus.
