The [[Canada|Canadian]] province of [[Quebec]] held municipal elections in its municipalities on November 6, 2005.

The municipalities in Quebec for the 2005 election were different from the previous 2001 election, as many municipalities had voted to de-amalgamate.

Every municipality in Quebec held elections except [[Port-Cartier, Quebec|Port-Cartier]], [[Thetford Mines]], [[Sept-Îles, Quebec|Sept-Îles]] and in the village and parish of [[Saint-Georges-de-Cacouna, Quebec|Saint-Georges-de-Cacouna]] (they were held in 2006).

In addition to the municipalities, the [[prefect]]s of 8 [[regional county municipality|regional county municipalities]] were elected:

*[[Kamouraska Regional County Municipality|Kamouraska]]
*[[La Haute-Gaspésie Regional County Municipality|La Haute-Gaspésie]]
*[[La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau Regional County Municipality|La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau]]
*[[Le Granit Regional County Municipality|Le Granit]]
*[[Le Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality|Le Haut-Saint-François]]
*[[Les Basques Regional County Municipality|Les Basques]]
*[[Les Pays-d'en-Haut Regional County Municipality|Les Pays-d'en-Haut]]
*[[Témiscouata Regional County Municipality|Témiscouata]]
