The rivière du Mont Saint-Étienne (English: Mont Saint-Etienne river) is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne river, flowing on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier and the municipality of Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of this small valley is served by chemin de l'Abitibi-Price, chemin du rang Saint-Marie and chemin Clairval. Chemin du rang Saint-Édouard runs southwest of the middle part of the river course. The upper part is served by a secondary forest road passing on the north side of the river and which connects to the southeast with the Abitibi-Price road. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the lower part of the Mont Saint-Étienne river is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The upper part has a freezing period of about an additional week. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
