The Churchill River (French: fleuve Churchill) is a major river in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada. From the head of the Churchill Lake it is 1,609 km long.[1]

Its source is in Central-East Alberta (Beaver Lake, Beaver River, Sand River, Cold Lake, Winefred River), which drain into the Churchill Lake in Saskatchewan. From there, the Churchill River flows east through a series of lakes (Highrock, Granville, Southern Indian and Gauer) before emptying into the Button Bay inlet of Hudson Bay at Churchill, Manitoba.

For information on canoeing the Saskatchewan portion of the Churchill RIver, see the books Canoeing the Churchill: A Practical Guide to the Historic Voyageur Highway by Greg Marchildon & Sid Robinson, and Northern Saskatchewan Canoe Trips: A Guide to Fifteen Wilderness Rivers by Laurel Archer.
