Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t ʒənvjɛv də batiskɑ̃]) is a parish municipality in the Mauricie region of the province of Quebec in Canada.

During the first centuries of its history, the economy of the area has been focused on forestry, agriculture, fishing and river transport.

There is a known archaeological potential at Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan where a manuscript source (Massicotte, 1935) mentions the discovery of artifacts from the prehistoric period (projectile point and others).

Because of its importance as a possible route of circulation and penetration to the interior, the Batiscan River remains a significant point of interest for prehistoric archaeology.

The territory of municipality of Sainte-Geneviève was detached from the parishes of Saint-François-Xavier-de-Batiscan and La Visitation de Champlain.

[5] The civil records of Sainte-Genevieve de Batiscan start in July 1727 and are administered by the neighboring parish of Saint-François-Xavier-de-Batiscan up to the canonical erection of the Catholic parish of Sainte-Genevieve de Batiscan, which occurred on August 16, 1833.
