Notre-Dame-du-Laus is a municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, part of the Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality.

The municipality is characterized by hilly forests with a great number of lakes, rivers, and creeks. Because of those nature gems, many cottages are owned and built in the area. The eastern portion of its territory is part of the Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve. Consequently, the local economy is dependent on forestry as well as on the influx of tourists, fishermen and hunters.[4]

Du Lièvre River that controlled all the fur brigades from the upper Du Lièvre and Gatineau Rivers.[5]

In February 1946, the municipality was renamed to its current name.[4]
