    Little Burgundy is a neighbourhood in the southwest borough of Montreal, Quebec. It is the historical home of the city’s Black English-speaking, working-class community (see also Black Canadians).

The settlement dates to the emergence of the railway companies in the mid- to late 19th century and the era of the Black sleeping car porters.
