Lac-Matapédia is an unorganized territory in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. It is named after and located on the northern shores of Lake Matapedia in the Matapédia Valley.
The territory is home to a small protected area, Lac-Matapédia Forest Refuge that was established in 2008 to protect three populations of the calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa), a plant designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec.[3] A part of the remainder of the territory is being considered for the creation of a new provincial park.
