Bonne-Espérance (French pronunciation: [bɔnɛspeʁɑ̃s]) is a municipality in the Côte-Nord region of the province of Quebec in Canada.
The municipality is made up of the fishing villages of St. Paul's River (Rivière-Saint-Paul), Middle Bay (Baie du Milieu), and Old Fort (Old Fort Bay), and was incorporated as a municipality on January 1, 1990. All three communities are accessible via Quebec Route 138 from Blanc-Sablon to the east only; this road currently ends at Vieux-Fort before commencing again at Kegashka some 300 kilometres (190 mi) west-south-west.
