Anthony Craig Rivet (/ˈrɪvɪt/; born September 13, 1974) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played 18 seasons in the NHL, including 12 with the Montreal Canadiens.

He later played for the San Jose Sharks, Buffalo Sabres, and Columbus Blue Jackets before finishing his career with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.

Before becoming an unrestricted free agent in the off-season, he re-signed with the Sharks to a four-year, US$14 million contract, citing San Jose's fan base and competitiveness as major factors in staying with the club.

Despite initial estimates of 4–6 months for recovery, which would have impinged on the start of the 2010-11 season, he was expected to return for training camp.

[9] After clearing waivers on February 24, 2011, Rivet was reassigned to the Sabres' American Hockey League farm team, the Portland Pirates.
