Outremont is a borough (arrondissement) of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It consists entirely of the former city on the Island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec. The neighbourhood has been traditionally inhabited largely by Francophones, but is now also home to a large number of Hasidic Jews.

The Mount Royal Cemetery is located in the south eastern tip of the borough.
It has a population of 24,846 and its area of 3,86…
