The Bécancour River is a river in the Canadian province of Quebec.

The Bécancour takes its source from the lake of the same name in the town of Thetford Mines, in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. It flows west into Lake William at Saint-Ferdinand, changes course northwards towards Inverness, turning westward there and continuing to flow west across the Centre-du-Québec region for most of its length. The river takes a turn northwestward at Saint-Wenceslas, finally emptying into the Saint Lawrence River near the heart of the city of Bécancour [ [http://www.grobec.org/b_geographie.php GROBEC - Géographie du bassin de la rivière Bécancour] . Accessed 28-Aug-2007.] .
