The Abitibi River ist ein Fluss im nordöstlichen Ontario in Kanada. Er fließt vom See Lake Abitibi in nordwestlicher Richtung und mündet in den Moose River, der zur James Bay fließt. Der Abitibi River hat - gemessen vom Ende des Lac Loïs - eine Länge von etwa 540 km.

Der Fluss bildete früher eine wichtige Route im Pelzhandel der Hudson's Bay Company. Heutzutage bildet die Holz- und Papierindustrie einen wichtigen Faktor in der stark bewaldeten Region, durch welche der Abitibi River fließt.

Der Abitibi River fließt an der Stadt Iroquois Falls vorbei, welche nach den nahegelegenen Wasserfällen am Fluss benannt wurde.
