Chicoutimi was a city of 63 326 (2001 statistics) located 200 kilometres north of Quebec City on the Saguenay River in the Canadian province of Quebec. In 2002 the neighbouring cities of Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie consolidated into a new city called officially Ville de Saguenay. Chicoutimi is now considered an arrondissement of the Ville de Saguenay.

Chicoutimi was founded in 1676 as a French trading post in the fur trade.
