The Noire River (in Frenche: Rivière Noire) is a tributary of the Bulstrode River whose current flows successively into the Nicolet River and St. Lawrence River.

The toponym "rivière Noire" was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2] The origin possibly comes from nearby peatlands.
