Taché (French: Municipalité rurale de Taché) is a rural municipality in Manitoba, Canada, incorporated in 1880.
Named after the Bishop Taché (one of the first bishops in Manitoba), it is located to the south-east of Winnipeg, stretching from the Red River Floodway in the west to the beginning of the Canadian Shield in the east. Trees line the Seine River as it meanders through the centre of the municipality and acts as an oasis of oak and elm trees in the primarily agricultural fields of the area. Lorette and Landmark are the main residential and commercial hubs of the municipality with Ste-Genevieve, Dufresne, Ross, and Linden as other noteworthy communities.
In 1998 a new high school, Collège Lorette Collegiate, was completed in the town of Lorette. The town is also home to the municipal office and to the board offices of the Seine River School Division and the Franco-manitoban School Division.
As per Statistics Canada, Taché's population in 2016 was 11,568.
