Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine Regional County Municipality
Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine Regional County Municipality was a former regional county municipality and census division in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada.
It was formed in 1981, and dissolved when all of its component municipalities amalgamated into the new Municipality of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine on January 1, 2002, as part of the early 2000s municipal reorganization in Quebec.
Based on the last census prior to its dissolution, Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine consisted of:
