thumb|Abandoned papermill, Val Jalbert, 2000. thumb|Houses in Val Jalbert, 2006 Val-Jalbert () is a ghost town in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. It is located northwest of the town of Chambord.
The village was founded in 1901 and soon saw success in the pulp mill created by Damase Jalbert at the base of the Ouiatchouan Falls. However, the success was fleeting as the abrupt closure of the mill in 1927 led the desertion of the entire village.
