Petite Rivière is a small village on the South Shore in Nova Scotia in Canada. It is located about 20 minutes outside of Bridgewater. It is located between Rissers Beach Provincial Park and the community of Green Bay.

The bridge over the Petite Rivière was destroyed in 2002 and has been replaced by a single lane "temporary" bailey bridge.

Samuel de Champlain is said to have given the community its name after landing at the location during the early 17th century.
