The Titipiti River is a tributary of Feuquières Lake, in Quebec, in Canada. This watercourse crosses the administrative regions of:

This river crosses successively the cantons of Ventadour and Feuquières. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second. A logging camp has been established on the west bank of Ventadour Lake near a forest road.

The southern part of the Titipiti River Valley is served by route 212 which connects Obedjiwan to La Tuque and passes south of Lake Dubois.
