A new Raphidascarid nematode, Raphidascaris laurentianus is described from material collected from the intestine of the speckled trout. The specimens were obtained from Labelle County, Quebec. R. laurentianus is of moderate size and is characterized by having delicate caudal alae, parallel uteri, and only five to twelve pairs of preanal papillae. This is the first definite record of such a nematode from speckled trout.
