Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière is a municipality in the Municipalité régionale de comté de Lotbinière in Quebec, Canada. Part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region, it had a population of 833 as of 2009.
Although the new constitution dates from 1743, following the amalgamation of the village and parish of Sainte-Agathe, the territory was opened to colonizers in 1830. Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière's early development was linked to the construction of the chemins Craig and Gosford in the mid-19th century.
It is named after Agatha of Sicily, who died as a martyr in 251.
