Nouveau-Bordeaux (French pronunciation: [nuvo bɔʁdo], lit.'New Bordeaux') originally known as Bordeaux, is a neighbourhood in north end Montreal, Quebec, Canada located in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville.

Nouveau-Bordeaux is bordered on the north by Rivière des Prairies, to the northeast by Ahuntsic, to the southeast by the borough of Saint-Laurent and to the southwest by the neighbourhood of Cartierville. Formerly an independent city,[1] Bordeaux was annexed by the much larger city of Montreal in the year 1910, at the same time as neighboring Ahuntsic. The district had a large housing boom in the 1960s and 1970s. Galeries de Normandie shopping mall is located in Bordeaux' north.

The former Bordeaux railway station was once located here. The Bois-de-Boulogne station, a commuter rail station operated by Exo served on its Saint-Jérôme line, serves the neighbourhood. The Bordeaux Prison is located near here.
