The Brisson river is a tributary of the rivière aux Anglais flowing in the unorganized territory of Rivière-aux-Outardes, 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 English River is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, except the rapids areas; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March.

The Brisson River rises on the Canadian Shield, at Lake Louis (length: 1.2 km (0.75 mi); altitude: 319 m (1,047 ft)).

The mouth of the lake is located 3.7 km (2.3 mi) southwest of the mouth of the Brisson river, 2.1 km (1.3 mi) west of a curve in the Rivière des Anglais and 5.9 km (3.7 mi) northeast of a bay on the Manicouagan River.

The toponym "Brisson river" was formalized on August 2, 1974, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
