Champigny is an administrative sector and neighbourhood of Quebec City. It is also the name of a sub-sub-fief on the île d'Orléans in the era of New France that may have give its name to the neighbourhood.[2] [3] [1] Also located here are Champigny Park, Champigny Street East and Champigny Street West.[2] The two Champigny Streets were formerly Champigny Road, part of the Chemin du Roy from Quebec City to Montreal.[2]

Champigny is also the name of Jean Bochart de Champigny, sieur de Noroy et Verneuil, chevalier and intendant of New France from 1687 to 1702.[2][1] It is unclear whether the neighbourhood is named after the sub-sub-fief or the intendant.
