Rouyn-Noranda Regional County Municipality was a former regional county municipality and census division in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec, Canada.[1]

It was formed in 1981 and dissolved when all of its component municipalities amalgamated into the new City of Rouyn-Noranda on January 1, 2002,[3] as part of the early 2000s municipal reorganization in Quebec.

Based on the last census prior to its dissolution, Rouyn-Noranda RCM consisted of:[2]
