Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles (French pronunciation:[ʁivjɛʁdepʁɛʁipwɛ̃totʁɑ̃bl]) is a suburbanborough (arrondissement) on the eastern tip of the city ofMontreal,Quebec,Canada. It is located at the eastern end of theIsland of Montreal.

The borough is located at the eastern tip of theIsland of Montreal. It is composed of the districts ofRivière-des-Prairies,Pointe-aux-Trembles andLa Pointe-aux-Prairies, which were part of the City of Montreal prior to the 2002municipal mergers. Prior to 2002, it was anexclave separated from the rest of Montreal by independent cities to the west. From January 1, 2002 to January 1, 2006, the borough included the town ofMontreal East, which has now demerged from Montreal.

The borough's name lists the two neighbourhoods according to their date of annexation to Montreal (Rivière-des-Prairies joined in 1963 and Pointe-aux-Trembles in 1982). It has a population of 107,941.

Rivière-des-Prairies is mainly composed of suburbs, as well as multiple forested areas and fields. Pointe-aux-Trembles is more urban and dense but remains suburban in nature. The third district, La Pointe-aux-Prairies, is a typical suburb composed of townhouses, condos and single-family dwellings, which makes it a destination of choice for young families that wish to remain on the island of Montréal. TheSaint Lawrence River flows at the southern border of Montreal, while theRivière des Prairies River forms Montreal Island's northern boundary with Laval.

The Rivière-des-Prairies part of the borough is more multiethnic and known for its high concentration ofItalians andHaitians, while the Pointe-aux-Trembles segment is more homogenous and ethnically French-Canadian. On July 9, 2006, after Italy won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Maurice Duplessis Boulevard was closed to traffic due to the great number of fans celebrating in the street.

The borough is divided into three districts—La Pointe-aux-Prairies, Pointe-aux-Trembles and Rivière-des-Prairies—and has seven elected representatives since the November 2005 municipal election: one borough mayor, three city councillors, and three borough councillors.

As of the November 5,2017 Montreal municipal election, the current borough council consists of the following councillors:

Federally it's in the ridings ofHonoré-Mercier andLa Pointe-de-l'Île, and provincially part ofLaFontaine andPointe-aux-Trembles.

The Borough is served by two school boards. The French schools are part of theCentre de Service Scolaire Pointe-de-l'Ile while the English schools are part of theEnglish Montreal School Board.

• From 2002 to 2006, borough headquarters were located in Montreal East's town hall, which benefitted from a $5 million expansion voted in 2003 and completed in September 2005. Since the town's demerger, the borough's services have been relocated in both Rivière-des-Prairies and Pointe-aux-Trembles, but a recent proposal to build a new borough hall next to the planned Rivière-des-Prairies Maison de la Culture (cultural centre) has been adopted despite the ire of the Pointe-aux-Trembles councillors.
• The borough is covered by three weekly newspapers, two in French ("L'Avenir de l'Est" in Pointe-aux-Trembles and "L'Informateur" in Rivière-des-Prairies) and one in English ("The East End Suburban", which covers only Rivière-des-Prairies).
