The Amiskwi River is a stream of about 31.5 kilometres (19.6 mi) in length in British Columbia, Canada.[2] It is a tributary of the Kicking Horse River. The name Amiskwi is a Cree word for Beavertail.

Just as there is an Otterhead River and an Ottertail River (both of which join the Kicking Horse downstream from the Amiskwi), there is also a Beaverfoot River (also a Kicking Horse River tributary) to go with the Beavertail River, which is an old name for the Amiskwi. Another old name of the river is the North Branch Kicking Horse River.
