The Péribonka East River is a tributary of the Péribonka River, flowing in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This watercourse crosses the administrative regions of:
- Nord-du-Québec: municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James;
- Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean: in the northern part of the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the unorganized territory of Mont-Valin.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism activities are incidental considering the geographic remoteness and lack of access roads.
The surface of the Péribonka East River is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
