Rivière-Nouvelle is an unorganized territory in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada.

The eponymous Nouvelle River (French meaning "new") has its source in the Notre Dame Mountains and is 76 kilometres (47 mi) long. It flows in a southerly direction through the middle of the territory until the Municipality of Nouvelle where its course changes to the south-east before emptying in Chaleur Bay. While its current name has been in use since the 17th century, the Mi'kmaq people called it Tlapatantjitjg, meaning "potatoes" (used metaphorically because of its rocky bottom).[4]
