Dollard-Des Ormeaux–Roxboro (French pronunciation: [dɔlaʁ dez‿ɔʁmo ʁɔksbɔʁo]) is a former borough in the West Island area of Montreal, Quebec. It was composed of the former municipalities of Dollard-des-Ormeaux and Roxboro, and was formed on January 1, 2002.
On June 20, 2004, Dollard-Des Ormeaux voted to return to being an independent municipality, effective January 1, 2006. Roxboro elected to stay part of Montreal, although this result is being challenged in court. It was incorporated into the new borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro.
Geography

The northern part of Roxboro had two salients that reach the bank of the Rivière des Prairies, exclaving two sections of Pierrefonds—Senneville.
