Rivière-Bonjour (French pronunciation: [ʁivjɛʁ bɔ̃ʒuʁ]) is an unorganized territory in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. A large part of the territory is part of the Matane Wildlife Reserve. Other portions of the territory are partially within the Gaspésie National Park, Rivière-Cascapédia Wildlife Reserve [fr], and Zec de Cap-Chat. Outdoor recreation and forestry are the main activities.

The eponymous Bonjour River [fr] is a 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long stream roughly in the centre of the territory that has its source at the south-eastern slopes of the Chic-Choc Mountains, including the 1,065 metres (3,494 ft) high Mont Blanc [fr]. The stream joins the Matane River at Matane Lake.
