Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière (French pronunciation: [le ʃyt la ʃodjɛʁ]) was a regional county municipality and census division in Quebec. It and Desjardins Regional County Municipality were formed from the division of Lévis County in the 1980s. It ceased to exist when most of it, along with most of Desjardins RCM, amalgamated into the expanded city of Lévis on January 1, 2002.
