footnotes = Pincourt is a municipality on the island of Île Perrot, off the western tip of the island of Montreal, Quebec. The town shares the island with the three other municipalities of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, Terrasse Vaudreuil and L'Île-Perrot, bordering on each one. The south end of the Ottawa River ("Rivière des Outaouais") flows between Vaudreuil-Dorion and Pincourt, defining the town's western boundary. Quebec Autoroute 20 runs along the north end of Pincourt and is accessed via Exit 35, the only proper exit overpass along the section of the highway from Quebec Autoroute 540 to the island of Montreal, all others consisting of at-grade intersections with traffic lights.

Many houses, condos and townhouses are newly built as the town has currently undergone a building boom, which also included the opening of the new Chêne-Bleu high school. The municipality has two English primary schools, one French primary school and one French High School. There are also several parks open throughout the year for recreation.

Famed blues musician Robert "Toots" Postuma, long called Pincourt his home. His well known musical jaunt "P-town Blues" documents his love for the town he grew up in.

There is a shuttle bus service operated by CIT La Presqu'Île connecting to the Dorion-Rigaud commuter rail line.
