Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot is a municipality in southwestern Quebec, Canada in the Regional County Municipality of Les Maskoutains. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 1,637.
This municipality was born from the merger, in 1977, of the parish municipality of Sainte-Hélène, founded in 1855, and the village municipality of Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, founded in 1925.[3]
Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot is located between Saint-Hyacinthe and Drummondville and is crossed by the Highway 20 - Jean-Lesage, the village on one side and the land on the other.

According to the Ministry of Transport of Quebec, more than 1000 trucks a day stop in this small village.
