Fabreville is a neighborhood in northwest Laval, Quebec.

It is named in honor of Mgr. Édouard-Charles Fabre.

The area was officially named on December 5, 1968.

Fabreville is bounded by the Mille Îles River to the northwest, Sainte-Rose to the northeast, Chomedey to the southeast, Sainte-Dorothée to the south and Laval-Ouest to the southwest.

The municipality of the western part of Sainte-Rose parish adopted the name Fabreville in 1957. In 1960, Fabreville lost part of its territory to the town of Sainte-Rose. The latter absorbed an area west of the Laurentian Autoroute, considered its new natural boundary.

Among the neighborhood's attractions are a number of green spaces along the Rivière des Mille-Iles and the Boisé de la Source, a 50-hectare forest within the neighborhood that is ideal for walking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter.
