Saint-Polycarpe is a municipality located in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality in the Montérégie region west of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and just east of the Quebec-Ontario border. It was named for Polycarp, a 2nd-century bishop of Smyrna. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 1,969.
While a parish during the 18th century, its territory included portions of what is now part of Saint-Zotique.
Saint-Polycarpe is located along Route 340 with nearby Quebec Autoroute 20 running south of the municipality.
