Hochelaga was a St. Lawrence Iroquoian fortified village near present-day Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its first European contact was by a French expedition led by Jacques Cartier in 1535. The village still existed when Cartier revisited the region a few years later.

It disappeared prior to the arrival of Samuel de Champlain in the early 17th century. Champlain and his companions eventually began settling there, founding Ville-Marie in 1642. This became the present-day city of Montreal.

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is now a neighbourhood of Montreal.
