Roberval is a city in the Le Domaine-du-Roy Regional County Municipality of Quebec, Canada. It was named after the first Lieutenant General of New France, Jean-François de la Roque de Roberval. With a population of 10,544 in the Canada 2006 Census, it is the third largest city on the shore of Lac Saint-Jean after Alma and Dolbeau-Mistassini.

It is located at the southern tip of the lake. It was founded in 1855 on the bank of the Tremblay River where settlers had built a sawmill. It is now a main service center for the area with a hospital and some government services.

It is the only Lac Saint-Jean town whose core is directly on the lakeshore.

Benoît Bouchard, former cabinet Minister and Canadian Ambassador in France, and Michel Gauthier, former federal Leader of the Opposition, represented the area in the federal parliament. Bernard Lord the former Premier of New Brunswick was born here.

Roberval was the 2008 winner of Kraft Hockeyville. In their newly renovated arena, Roberval hosted an NHL preseason game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres on September 23, 2008.

In 2010 Roberval will hold the FINA World Championships in Swimming.
