La Chevrotière is a tributary of the northwest shore of the Saint-Laurent river, descending in the municipality of Portneuf, Saint-Gilbert and Deschambault-Grondines, in the Portneuf, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.

The La Chevrotière river valley is mainly served by the route 138 which runs along the northwest shore of the St. Lawrence River and the route 363 which passes on the north side of this valley.

[1] The surface of the La Chevrotière river (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.

The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.

The toponym "La Chevrotière" was formalized on March 9, 1988, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
