Val-des-Lacs (; meaning "Valley of Lakes") is a municipality of 750 peoples in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Les Laurentides Regional County Municipality.
History The area was settled at the end of the 19th century, and its post office opened in 1894. In 1928, the Parish of Saint-Agricole was created; its name referring to the agricultural character of the area. In 1932, the Municipality of Saint-Agricole was established when it separated from the Township of Wolfe (now Lac-Supérieur).
With the decline of agriculture and the rise of tourism in the area, the municipality was renamed to Val-des-Lacs on June 17, 1967.
