Saint-Leonard municipal election, 1986

The 1986 Montreal municipal election took place on November 9, 1986, to elect a mayor and city councillors in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Longtime mayor Jean Drapeau did not seek re-election, and Jean Doré from the opposition Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) was elected to the position by a significant margin.

Elections also took place in suburban Montreal communities.

Party colours do not indicate affiliation with or resemblance to a provincial or a federal party.

All of Dorval's serving representatives were re-elected without opposition.
