Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, in the Kamouraska Regional County Municipality.
Before July 5, 1997, it was known simply as Saint-Alexandre.
The parish of Saint-Alexandre was founded in the first half of the 19th century. It was canonically erected in 1851. The post office was first opened in 1854 under the name "Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska". The parish municipality of Saint-Alexandre was then created in 1855. In 1997, its status was changed to a municipality alongside its name, which became Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska.
On January 27, 1968, the westbound Scotian passenger train operated by Canadian National Railway derailed near the Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska station. Two passengers were injured. The train was operating at about 65mph when an axle on the locomotive broke.[1]
