The Saint-Étienne River is a tributary of the south shore of the Saguenay River flowing into the municipality of Petit-Saguenay in the Saguenay Fjord, Quebec, Canada. In the end, this river crosses the Saguenay Fjord National Park.
The Saint-Étienne River Valley is mainly served by Chemin Saint-Étienne and Chemin du Lac Fidelin.
Forestry is the first economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.
The surface of the Saint-Étienne River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
