List of francophone communities in Alberta

This is a list of francophone communities in Alberta. Municipalities with a high percentage of French-speakers in the Canadian province of Alberta are listed.
Alberta’s Francophone population dates back to its early days as part of Rupert’s Land and the fur trade. This history has led to the establishment of several Francophone settlements, such as Morinville and Beaumont, as well as numerous geographic features—mountains, rivers, and towns—named after Métis or French words.
Today, Alberta is home to over 300,000 Francophones and Francophiles, making up about 8% of the province’s total population.
While several communities have sizeable French-speaking minorities, the majority of Franco-Albertans resides within the province's two largest cities: Edmonton, and Calgary.
