Déléage is a town and municipality in La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. It is situated on the eastern banks of the Gatineau River opposite Maniwaki.
Deleage and Deléage are frequently used alternate spellings. The official spelling was changed from Deleage to Déléage on March 20, 2004.
In 1871, the Kensington Township was proclaimed, named after a district of West London, England. In 1881, the Township Municipality of Kensington was formed. In 1930, it was renamed to Déléage, in honour of Jean-Francois-Regis Déléage (1821-1884), born in Haute-Loire and missionary in the Outaouais from 1853 to 1879, where he founded a dozen parishes. His name has also been used to identify the post office between 1929 and 1967.
