Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (French pronunciation: [lez‿il də la madlɛn]) was a former regional county municipality and census division in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada.

It was formed in 1981, and dissolved when all of its component municipalities amalgamated into the new Municipality of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine on January 1, 2002, as part of the early 2000s municipal reorganization in Quebec.

Based on the last census prior to its dissolution, Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine consisted of:

Name Type/status Land area in km 2001 population 1996 population
Cap-aux-Meules Village 3.60 1659 1661
Fatima Municipality 26.00 2686 2966

L'Île-du-Havre-Aubert Municipality 65.41 2275 2618
Totals 205.53 12,824 13,802

Following a 2004 referendum, the municipality of Grosse-Île separated from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine and was reestablished on January 1, 2006. It is no longer incorporated within any regional county municipality, but remains part of the urban agglomeration of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
