Le Faubourg de l'Île, formerly known as Centre d'achats Île-Perrot, is an enclosed shopping mall located in Pincourt, Quebec, on Cardinal-Léger boulevard.

The now defunct Steinberg's supermarket chain originally opened a store on this land in November 1960. Some years later, a strip mall has been added, inter alia with a Woolworth and a Royal Bank branch. In the 1970s, Consumers Distributing took the Woolworth space and Steinberg's expanded the front store. In 1992, the Steinberg's store became Xtra, the discount supermarket division for the group at the time. However, when the company folded in May 1992, Provigo bought the space and its sister chain Maxi took the former Steinberg's/Xtra space. In 1993, the mall had huge improvements, adding many others stores, with Canadian Tire and Zellers as new anchors. In 2005, the Maxi moved to a bigger standalone location across the street to become a Maxi & Cie. Some stores including Shoppers Drug Mart, who moved from another space in the mall, took the space originally occupied by Steinberg's and a Urban Planet unit took the space formerly occupied by Shoppers Drug Mart.
