St. Norbert is a heavily bilingual (French and English) neighborhood in the southernmost part of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It began as a Métis settlement dating back to 1822. It was in St. Norbert, on October 19, 1869, that a public meeting was held at St. Norbert Roman Catholic Church. At that meeting, the Métis elected the Comite national des Métis with Louis Riel as secretary. The first act of the Committee was an erection of a barrier across the Pembina Trail to keep out unwanted emissaries of the Canadian Government.

The population is just over 5,000.

Located just south of the Perimeter Highway, St. Norbert is home to the ruins of a Trappist Monastery, Our Lady of the Prairies. It also hosts the St. Norbert Farmers' Market every summer, drawing large crowds from South Winnipeg. Other attractions include the St. Norbert Provincial Heritage Park, and the Red River Flood Gates

Today, St. Norbert is the southern gateway into the city of Winnipeg.
