Saint-Laurent-de-l'Ile-d'Orleans is a municipality in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada, part of the L'Ile-d'Orleans Regional County Municipality. It is situated on the south side of Orleans Island. Saint-Laurent has been twinned with Tourouvre in France since 1982. The area began to be colonized around 1660. In 1679, the local parish was founded, initially named Saint-Paul. In 1695, the church was built at Seche Point. At the request of Francois Berthelot, Advisor to the King and Count of Saint-Laurent, the parish was renamed to Saint-Laurent in 1698, in order to avoid confusion caused by the frequent practise of twinning the names Saint-Peter and Saint-Paul at the time. The place was also known as L'Arbre-Sec, possibly a reference to a withered tree in the western part of the Seigneury.
