The Macoustigane River is a tributary of the east bank of the Wetetnagami River flowing into Senneterre in the RCM of La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada.
This river successively crosses the townships of Charette and Adhémar.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism, second, particularly thanks to the Lake Wetetnagami Biodiversity Reserve. The Macoustigane River Valley is served by the forest road (east-west) passing south of Wetetnagami Lake in the Wetetnagami Lake Biodiversity Reserve.
The surface of the Macoustigane River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice movement is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
