Rivière Qui Barre is a hamlet in central Alberta, Canada, within Sturgeon County. It is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) west of Highway 44, approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of Edmonton's city limits. It was founded in 1885 by French-speaking settlers, adding a post office in 1895. The name is the French translation of Kipohtakaw (“river that bars the way”), the Cree name of the nearby river.
