The rivière aux Canards (English: Ducks River) is a tributary of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, flowing in the municipality of L'Île-d'Anticosti, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
A forest road runs along the southern coast of Anticosti Island and cuts the "rivière aux Canards" near its mouth. Another forest road (north–south direction) serves the west bank of the lower part of the course of the river.
Forestry is the main economic activity in this area; recreational tourism activities, second.
