Rivière-Saint-Jean is an unorganized territory in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada. It is bisected by Quebec Route 198 that runs along the banks of the York River.

The territory is named after the Saint-Jean River that is considered one of the best salmon rivers in Quebec. This long river has its source in the Chic-Choc Mountains, about south of Murdochville, and runs in a south-east direction for the first, then east to the Bay of Gaspé. Portions of the river are protected in the Rivière-Saint-Jean Wildlife Reserve.[1]

The only locality in the territory is Grand-Étang,[2] located along Route 132 at the namesake Grand Étang (French for "Great Pond").[3]
