Stadacona was a 16th century St. Lawrence Iroquoian village near present-day Quebec City.

French explorer and navigator Jacques Cartier, travelling and charting the Saint Lawrence River, reached it on 7 September 1535. He returned to Stadacona to spend the winter there with his group of 110 men. At the time, the chief of the village was Donnacona.

Samuel de Champlain later chose the location of this village to establish the colony of l'Habitation, the start of the settlement of Quebec.
