L'Anse-Saint-Jean (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃s sɛ̃ ʒɑ̃]), French for "The Cove of Saint John" is a municipality in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. Its population was 1,301 in the Canada 2021 Census.
L'Anse-Saint-Jean was founded in 1838 by the Société des Vingt-et-un, a group of lumber prospectors and investors from Charlevoix which was responsible for opening up the Saguenay region to colonization.
The village achieved some fame in 1997 when its citizens voted in a referendum to declare the village a "municipal monarchy" as the Kingdom of L'Anse Saint Jean.
