Sainte-Clotilde-de-Beauce () is a municipality located in the Municipalité régionale de comté des Appalaches in Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region and the population is 569 as of 2021. It was named after Clotilde, Frankish queen and wife of Clovis I. "Beauce" refers to the municipality's former census division and helps to its differentiation with other Quebec municipalities named "Sainte-Clotilde."
==History== Settlement of the territory began around 1869, with people from Sainte-Marie-de-la-Nouvelle-Beauce settling in the 9th range of Tring. They formed a group under the name of Petit-Sainte-Marie and requested the creation of a church in 1890. It wasn't until 1922 that a parish service was established, while most of the first pioneers of Sainte-Clotilde-de-Beauce had been living in the territory of the future municipality since 1920. The parish service gave way to an actual municipality in 1938 when sectors of Saint-Éphrem-de-Tring, Saint-Victor-de-Tring, Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus and Sacré-Coeur-de-Marie were split and merged to create Sainte-Clothilde-de-Beauce.
