Lilian River is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins at Lilian Lake in the Porcupine Hills and flows south to join to the Assiniboine River at the town of Sturgis. Lilian Lake is connected to the bifurcating Etomami Lake via a natural swampy portage making Etomami Lake the headwaters for both the north flowing Etomami River and the south flowing Lilian River. For most of the river's length, it is followed by the Canadian National Railway (CNR) and Highway 9. Several small communities and parks are situated on or near the river's banks.
