The Montreal Botanical Garden (French: Jardin botanique de Montréal) is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising 185 acres (748,668 square meters) of thematic gardens and greenhouses.

They contain a greenhouse complex full of plants from around the world, and a number of large outdoor gardens, each with a specific theme. The greenhouses are open to visitors year round, but the outdoor gardens are bare and covered with snow from about November until about April.

The garden was founded in 1931, in the height of the Great Depression. It serves to educate the public in general and students of horticulture in particular, as well as to conserve endangered plant species. It is also used for botanical research.
