The Petite rivière aux Pins is a tributary of the Rivière aux Pins, flowing entirely in the territory of Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.

The Petite Rivière aux Pins valley is served by a secondary forest road. Forestry is the main economic activity; recreational tourism, second.

The surface of the Petite rivière aux Pins (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
