Champigny is an administrative sector and neighbourhood of Quebec City. It is also the name of a sub-sub-fief on the île d'Orléans in the era of New France that may have give its name to the neighbourhood. Also located here are Champigny Park, Champigny Street East and Champigny Street West. The two Champigny Streets were formerly Champigny Road, part of the Chemin du Roy from Quebec City to Montreal.

Champigny is also the name of Jean Bochart de Champigny, sieur de Noroy et Verneuil, chevalier and intendant of New France from 1687 to 1702. It is unclear whether the neighbourhood is named after the sub-sub-fief or the intendant.
