Beauceville is a city in and the seat of the Municipalité régionale de comté Robert-Cliche in Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region and the population was 6,354 as of the Canada 2011 Census.
Beauceville's new constitution dates from 1998, when it amalgamated with Saint-François-Ouest and Saint-François-de-Beauce. The previous city was also the creation of a merging between Beauceville and Beauceville-Est, distinction made because each shared a bank of the Chaudière River. Beauceville was the first municipality in Beauce to be constituted as a city when it detached from Saint-François-de-Beauce in 1904.
Autoroute 73 crosses Beauceville's territory at exit 61.
On July 1, 2010, it was announced that Beauceville, Quebec was nominated to be a stop on the TSN Kraft Celebration Tour. It will face-off against Wakefield, Quebec on July 20, 2010.
