Maxime Boisclair (born February 14, 1985) is a Haitian Canadian former professional ice hockey forward. He most recently played as a member of Trois-Rivières Blizzard of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH).

Juniors
Boisclair was drafted in the first round (9th overall) in the 2001 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) draft by the Sherbrooke Castors. On December 27, 2002, Boisclair, Yan Gaudette, and Sherbrooke's 2nd round pick in 2003 were traded to the Chicoutimi Saguenéens for Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau and Chicoutimi's 4th round pick choice of 2004.

Boisclair earned the title of QMJHL Offensive Player of the Month in December 2004, scoring six goals and twelve assists in ten games. A week after being named QMJHL Offensive Player of the Month, Boisclair was named QMJHL Offensive Player of the Week. From the period stretching from Monday, December 27, 2004, to Sunday, January 9, 2005, Boisclair scored ten goals and fourteen points in only seven games. Boisclair would finish the season with 51 goals in 70 games. In Boisclair's final season with the Saguenéens, he scored 70 goals in 70 games. Despite leading the QMJHL in goals, Boisclair would go undrafted. Scouts and Boisclair himself have pointed to his lack of foot speed as a factor. Boisclair was the first Black player in QMJHL history to lead the league in goals scored.
