Édouard Montpetit (French pronunciation: [edwaʁ mɔ̃pəti]; 26 September 1881 – 27 May 1954) was a Quebec lawyer, economist and academic.

In Paris he studied political and social science, receiving a degree in both.

He died on 27 May 1954 and was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.

[2][1] In 1935 Montpetit was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's Lorne Pierce Medal.

In 1967, a monument to Montpetit by Sylvia Daoust was unveiled on the Université de Montréal campus[3] and the name of nearby Maplewood Avenue in Côte-des-Neiges was changed to boulevard Édouard-Montpetit.
