Lac-Delage (French pronunciation: [lak dəlaʒ]) is a town in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada, located on the eponymous Lake Delage.

The town saw its beginning in the 1950s when summer visitors came to the lake, which was originally called Lake Larron. It was renamed to Lake Delage by then Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis in honour of Cyrille-Fraser Delâge. Duplessis also granted the development of the resort and town.[1] On February 11, 1959, the City of Lac-Delage was incorporated out of territory ceded by the Municipality of Stoneham and the Municipality of Lac Saint-Charles.[4]
