Bois-Franc is a Réseau express métropolitain interchange station in the Bois-Franc neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. REM service began at the station on 17 November 2025.
It replaced a commuter rail station of the same name on the Deux-Montagnes line, which was closed when Exo service ended in 2020 in preparation for the construction of the REM. After the stations inbound of here were closed on May 11, 2020 so construction works could begin on the Mount Royal Tunnel, Bois-Franc served as the inbound terminus of a remnant of the line out to Deux-Montagnes, until finally being closed on December 31, 2020.

Cartierville Airport was an airport in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, now a borough of Montreal. The airport was decommissioned in 1988 and turned into the Bois-Franc neighbourhood. It was located next to Route 117 and the terminal buildings were accessed via Boul. Henri-Bourassa, near the present Bois-Franc Train Station on the Deux Montagnes Commuter Rail Line.
As the 10/28 runway's threshold was very close to Bois-Franc Boulevard, a traffic light was installed and automobile traffic was stopped by Air Traffic Control whenever a plane was about to take off from runway 28 or land on runway 10.
In 1928 Reid Aircraft Company opened a plant to make Curtiss-Reid Rambler, then in 1935 Noorduyn opened an aircraft plant followed by Canadian Vickers in 1942.
At one time, Canadair Plant One used the airfield to fly off completed CL-215, CL-415, Challenger bizjets and Canadair Regional Jets. The airport was closed to private and commercial passenger traffic in the 1980s when it became apparent that traffic from the nearby Dorval Airport was making it hazardous for chartered flights and flight schools to operate on the site. This left Bombardier as the sole user.
Prior to Bombardier's acquisition of Canadair, Canadair had already acquired the title to the airport, and had initiated a subdivision development planning.
Among the aircraft test-flown there was the Canadair CL-84 Dynavert tilt-wing VTOL airplane.
