The Rivière Bouchard is a tributary of the Franquelin River, flowing in the municipality of Franquelin, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

[1] The surface of the Bouchard River is usually frozen from the beginning of November to the end of April, except the rapids areas; however, traffic on the ice is generally safe from late November to early April.

The Bouchard River draws its source from a small lake (length: one hundred meters; altitude: 218 m (715 ft)) located in the municipality of Franquelin.

[2] The term "Bouchard" proves to be a family name of French origin.

The toponym "Rivière Bouchard" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
