Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t maʁt syʁ lə lak], lit. 'Sainte-Marthe on the Lake') is an off-island suburb of Montreal, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in the Deux-Montagnes Regional County Municipality, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Montreal. It is crossed from east to west by Route 344, commonly known as Oka Road. The town shares its borders with Deux-Montagnes to the east, Saint-Joseph-du-Lac to the west, the Lake of Two Mountains to the south, and Saint-Eustache to the north.
It shares police, firefighters, waterworks, and other services with the city of Deux-Montagnes.
It was formerly known as a rural town in which most of its inhabitants were seasonal vacationers, but it is increasingly lived in year-round.
