Caroline Bourgeois is a Canadian politician, who served as a Montreal City Councillor for the La Pointe-aux-Prairies ward in the borough of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles from 2009 to 2025. She served on the Montreal Executive Committee from June 2013.[1]

She was first elected in the 2009 municipal election as a member of the Vision Montréal party, defeating incumbent councillor Nicolas Montmorency. In the 2013 municipal election she changed her party affiliation to the new upstart party Coalition Montreal. She ran in the seat that she held (La Pointe-Aux-Prairies) with Vision Montreal but was defeated by Richard Guay from the Equipe Denis Coderre. She ran in the 2018 Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles mayoral by-election for Projet Montreal and won by a margin for just over 3%. She was re-elected in the 2021 municipal election by a narrow margin of one percent. She ran for a third term in 2025 but was decisively defeated by Denis Pelletier of Ensemble Montréal amid a citywide swing away from Projet Montréal.
