Minganie Regional County Municipality, Quebec
Quebec MRC Minganie outline.svg

Minganie is a regional county municipality of Quebec in Canada. The regional seat is Havre-Saint-Pierre. Anticosti Island is included within this region. It has a land area of 56,116.77 square kilometres (21,666.81 sq mi).

The population at the Canada 2006 Census was 6,390 inhabitants, about half of whom lived in Havre-Saint-Pierre. The census groups Minganie with the neighboring Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent RCM as the single census division of Minganie-Basse-Côte-Nord.[1]

Until 2002, the Minganie encompassed the entire lower north shore right up to Blanc-Sablon. In 2002, it lost all the communities east of the Natashquan River when the Basse-Côte-Nord Territory was formed. In July 2010, the RCM lost another 44% of its territory when the Petit-Mécatina Unorganized Territory was transferred to the new Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality.[2]
