Nicholas Montour (1756 – August 6, 1808) was a fur trader, seigneur, and political figure in Lower Canada.
In 1774, he was employed as a clerk in the fur trade by Joseph and Benjamin Frobisher on the Churchill River in what is now Manitoba and later worked in what is now Saskatchewan.
In 1792, he retired from the fur trade with a fortune of £20,000 and settled at Montreal where he was a member of the Beaver Club.
In the same year, he took up residence at Pointe-du-Lac, where he built a handsome dwelling house and large flour and saw mills.
He might have increased his fortune by a great extent but his style of living and free and generous disposition led to the loss of his money.
