Saint-André-de-Kamouraska is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Kamouraska Regional County Municipality. Before 2020, it was known as Saint-André.
The catholic parish of Saint-André de L'Islet-du-Portage, located at the height of the Pèlerins, a group of islands in the St. Lawrence River about 3 km offshore, was canonically erected in 1791. On the municipal level, the parish municipality of Saint-André and the village municipality of Andréville - detached from the parish municipality - came into being in 1855 and 1903 respectively, merging in 1987 to create the current municipality of Saint-André.
In 2020, the municipality of Saint-André changed its name to the current Saint-André-de-Kamouraska.
Saint-André-de-Kamouraska is located on the southern shoreline of the Saint Lawrence River along with several islands belonging to the municipality situated offshore to the north.
