The petite rivière Bédard is a tributary of the Bédard River, flowing in the municipalities of Larouche (MRC of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality) and Hébertville (MRC of Lac-Saint-Jean-Est Regional County Municipality), in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The petite rivière Bédard valley is served by chemin du rang Saint-Pierre, chemin du petit rang Saint-Pierre and chemin du rang Saint-Charles, for its two main industries, forestry and agriculture.
The surface of the river is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, though not safe for travel in the first and last two weeks.
