Chartierville (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁtjevil] ⓘ) is a small municipality of about 300 people in Le Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality, in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada, on the Canada–United States border.
Chartierville is located on Quebec Route 257, which has its southern terminus at the Pittsburg–Chartierville Border Crossing, and Quebec Route 210, which has its eastern terminus in Chartierville.
Prior to its founding in 1870 by colonists from Saint-Hyacinthe, gold-seekers flocked to the area. This patch of land, 142 square kilometres (55 sq mi) in area and 505 metres (1,657 ft) in altitude, is one of the highest regions in Quebec.
