Mascouche (also designated line 15, known during planning as Repentigny–Mascouche) is a commuter rail service in Greater Montreal, Quebec. It is operated by Exo, the organization that operates public transport services across this region.

Opened on December 1, 2014, by Exo's predecessor agency, the Agence Métropolitaine de transport (AMT), the Montreal region's sixth commuter train line required the construction of 10 new train stations, several civil engineering structures and 13 km of new railway track. This includes some track in the median of the A 640 between Repentigny and Mascouche.

Beginning on May 11, 2020, the Mascouche line was rerouted around the Mount Royal Tunnel, bypassing Mont-Royal and Canora stations due to the construction of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM).^[2] In 2025, Côte-de-Liesse will open as the Mascouche line's new southern terminus, replacing Central Station. Riders wishing to reach Central Station must transfer to the REM at Côte-de-Liesse.
