Saint-Dominique-du-Rosaire (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ dɔminik dy ʁozɛʁ]) is a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Abitibi Regional County Municipality in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. It is part of the census agglomeration of Amos.
The municipality owes its name to Monsignor Élie-Anicet Latulipe, who wished to place the parish under the protection of the founder of the Dominican order, Domingo de Guzmán. This saint also popularised devotion to the rosary, an aspect that fully explains the municipality's name.
