The du Lièvre River (Rivière du Lièvre in French) is a river in western Quebec which flows south from the Mitchinamécus reservoir and empties into the Ottawa River west of Masson, Quebec. The river is 330 km in length and drains an area of 10,400 km². The river's name comes from the French word for hare.

Tributaries of this river include the:

• Mitchinamécus River
• Kiamika River

The river flows through the communities of:

• Mont-Laurier
• Notre-Dame-du-Laus
• Val-des-Bois
• Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette
• Buckingham, now part of Gatineau

At one time, the river was used to transport logs downstream to sawmills located near the river's mouth. There are a number of hydroelectric plants on the river. James Maclaren Industries operates a kraft mill near the mouth of the river.
