The ruisseau L'Abbé (English: L'Abbé stream) is a freshwater tributary of the Pikauba River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in province, in Quebec, to Canada.

The upper part of the ruisseau L’Abbé valley is accessible by route 169; other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for forestry and recreational tourism activities.

Forestry is the primary economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.

The surface of L’Abbé Creek is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
