Senneterre is a parish municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada, in the La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality. The parish is mostly a rural municipality that almost completely surrounds the actual population centre of the neighbouring City of Senneterre.

In November 1931, it annexed the remainder of the geographic township (west and east of the Bell River), except for Senneterre-Partie-Ouest. It shortened its name and changed statutes to the Parish Municipality of Senneterre in 1949.[1] [2]
