The Township of Fenelon was a municipality in present-day Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] The township was named after François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon (missionary) (1641–79) who was a missionary in New France, establishing a mission on the Bay of Quinte.[5]

The community of Cambray within the township was named after Cambrai in France, where François Fénelon (1651–1715), younger brother of the missionary, was archbishop.[6]
