Massueville is a village municipality in Pierre-De Saurel Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. The population as of the 2021 Canadian census was 547.

It is named after Gaspard-Aimé Massue, landowner (1812–1875). The village is an enclave within the Municipality of Saint-Aimé. It lies along the banks of the Yamaska River.

The core of the town is composed of several well kept heritage houses.

History

Fire involving an abandoned convent

In 1835, Gaspard-Aimé Massue, lord of the Bonsecours Seignory, donated land to the parish on which first a chapel was built that same year, followed by the church in 1841, and the original presbytery around 1850.

In 1903, the village was incorporated when it separated from the Parish Municipality of Saint-Aimé.

Massueville had a big fire near the church in an abandoned convent on 27 October 2006.
