Marie Montpetit (French pronunciation: [maʁi mɔ̃p(ə)ti]; born August 6, 1979) is a Canadian politician who represented the riding of Maurice-Richard (formerly known as Crémazie) National Assembly of Quebec from 2014 to 2022.

During her time in office, she served as both Minister of Culture and Communications and as Minister for the French language.

Career

Prior to her election to the legislature, Montpetit worked for the provincial Ministry of Health and Social Services and the World Health Organization.

Montpetit was elected as the member of the National Assembly of Quebec for Crémazie in the 2014 election as a member of the Quebec Liberal Party.

On May 30, 2024, she was appointed as the head of the Fédération des Cégeps, which regroups 48 colleges throughout the province.
