Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Residential borough in northwestern Montreal, Canada
Pierrefonds-Roxboro is a residential borough in northwestern Montreal located along Rivière des Prairies and divided into multiple neighborhoods. The area features numerous parks, cycling paths, and green spaces that connect different parts of the community.
The area was created by merging two separate municipalities into a single administrative borough of Montreal in 2006. This administrative consolidation followed a larger reorganization of the city's governance structure.

The area connects to downtown Montreal through Highway 40 and public transit routes, making travel convenient for residents. The extensive network of cycling paths allows easy travel by bike between neighborhoods and parks.
Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park within this borough is Montreal's largest protected natural area and offers hiking trails and water activities. Visitors can experience nature in ways that are uncommon in the surrounding urban environment.
