Béarn is a municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality.
The place was first incorporated as the Parish Municipality of Saint-Placide in 1913, taking its name from the parish that was founded two years earlier. Because it was known as Béarn in common use, the name was changed in 1936 to Saint-Placide-de-Béarn, and in 1983, it changed status to municipality and the name was shortened to the current name.
