Rivière-Ojima is an unorganized territory in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec, Canada. It consists of two non-contiguous areas in the Abitibi-Ouest Regional County Municipality, separated by the municipality of Authier-Nord. The hamlets of Languedoc (48°48′26″N 78°41′48″W / 48.80722°N 78.69667°W) and Saint-Eugène-de-Chazel (48°57′06″N 78°58′38″W / 48.95167°N 78.97722°W) are located within its boundaries.
Founded in 1949, Languedoc is the youngest rural population centre in the Abitibi region and named after the Languedoc Regiment, which arrived in New France in 1755 from Languedoc in southern France. The Parish of Saint-Etienne-de-Languedoc was formed in 1952.
