Montreal's Little Italy (French, "La Petite-Italie"; Italian "Piccola Italia") is located on Saint Laurent Boulevard between Jean-Talon and St. Zotique and is home to Montreal's original Italian Canadian community. It is part of the Montreal borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, to the south of Villeray and Jarry Park.

The neighbourhood is home to many fine Italian shops and restaurants, the Jean-Talon Market, as well as the Church of the Madonna della Difesa, built by Italian immigrants from the Campobasso area in Molise to commemorate the apparition of the Virgin Mary in "La Difesa", an area of Campobasso.

Montreal has the second largest Italian population in Canada after Toronto. There are 260,345 people of Italian ancestry living within the Greater Montreal Area.
