The Jean-Noël Nord-Est River is a tributary of the north bank of the Jean-Noël River, flowing in the town of La Malbaie and the municipality of Saint-Irénée, in Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.

The southern part of this small valley is accessible by the rang Saint-Pierre road, which runs on the northeast side of the river.

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

The Jean-Noël Nord-Est river takes its source from a small lake (altitude: 439 metres (1,440 ft)) located on the northwest side of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste road, in agricultural and forestry areas.

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