Dieppe Park (French: Parc de Dieppe) is a park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is at the eastern tip of Cité du Havre, in the borough of Ville-Marie. Between 1992 and 2017, it was known as Parc de la Cité-du-Havre. In 2017 it was named Dieppe Park to mark the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid.[1]

Despite it having an area of just 7 hectares,[2] it is categorized by the city of Montreal as one of its large parks.[3] [4]

The park offers an excellent view of the Old Port of Montreal, Downtown Montreal, and the Jacques Cartier Bridge. It also is a viewing point of the Montreal Fireworks Festival.

Nearby is the original Habitat 67 housing complex, the renowned Montréal landmark built for Expo 67.
