Lotbinière is a municipality in Lotbinière Regional County Municipality in Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region and the population was 887 as of the Canada 2011 Census. It is named after the seigneurie of which it was part. Bordered in the northwest by the Saint Lawrence River, Lotbinière is part of the Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec network.
