The Fortier River is a tributary of the north shore of the Panache River flowing in Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in Jamésie, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada.
This river successively crosses the townships of Urban and Carpiquet.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second. The Fortier River valley is served by the R1051 forest road (east-west), which runs north.
The surface of the Fortier River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
