Lorraine Pagé (born 1947) is a Canadian politician and trade unionist. She currently serves on Montreal City Council as councillor for the district of Sault-au-Récollet in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
She previously served as head of the Centrale des syndicats du Québec from 1988 to 1999, and was the first woman to lead a major labour union in the province.
She ran in the 2013 municipal election as a candidate of the Vrai changement pour Montréal party. On election day, she won the seat by a margin of just one vote over Nathalie Hotte of the Équipe Denis Coderre. As party leader Mélanie Joly was not elected to the council, she stepped down as leader in 2014 and Pagé was selected as Joly's successor. She was succeeded by Justine McIntyre.
