Saint-Roch-Ouest is a municipality in Montcalm Regional County Municipality in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada. Ouest is French for "west", indicating its position in relation to Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan.
Saint-Roch-Ouest was formed in 1921 when it separated from the Parish Municipality of Saint-Roch.
The relatively rich soils encouraged agricultural activity all throughout its history and Saint-Roch-Ouest has retained agriculture as the most important economic sector. All land of the municipality is occupied by agricultural activity, in particular vegetable production and the cultivation of cereals. Additionally, there are also pork breeders and dairy farms.[3]
