The arm Henriette (English: Henriette's arm) is a tributary of the Bras de Jacob, flowing in the southern part of the city of Saguenay, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the Henriette arm crosses the northwest part of the zec Mars-Moulin.
