Montchat is a largely residential neighbourhood of Lyon in the Rhône département of France.

It occupies the far eastern part of the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon and is bounded approximately by Villeurbanne to the north, Bron to the east, the 8th arrondissement of Lyon to the south, and the neighbourhood of Sans Souci to the west.

Boundaries
The boundaries of the original neighbourhood of Montchat (i.e. the estate developed by the Richard-Vitton family) are quite tightly drawn:
 * to the north: Route de Genas;
 * to the east: Rue/Chemin du Vinatier, Boulevard Pinel;
 * to the south: Avenue Lacassagne;
 * to the west: Rue Feuillat.

The boundaries used for the Montchat neighbourhood council are as follows:
 * to the north: Route de Genas;
 * to the east: Rue/Chemin du Vinatier, Boulevard Pinel;
 * to the south: Avenue Rockefeller, Place Arsonval, Cours Albert Thomas;
 * to the west: Rue Feuillat.

The canton of Lyon XIII (which covers a very similar area, and is informally known as the canton of Montchat), uses slightly different boundaries:
 * to the north: Avenue Félix Faure, Place des Maisons Neuves, Rue du Dauphiné, Route de Genas;
 * to the east: Rue/Chemin du Vinatier, Boulevard Pinel;
 * to the south: Avenue Rockefeller, Place Arsonval, Cours Albert Thomas,
 * to the west: Avenue Lacassagne, Rue du Docteur Rebatel.
