The Seignelay River (French: Rivière Seignelay) is a river of the Côte-Nord region of Quebec.
The Seignelay River Rises to the south of Lac Vallard. It flows through the unorganized territory of Rivière-Mouchalagane in Caniapiscau, Quebec.[1] Its course is almost due south. It is one of the major inlets to the Manicouagan Reservoir, along with the Mouchalagane, Hart Jaune, Themines and Petite Riviere Manicouagan.[2] Previous names included Rivière Cawiwanipis, Rivière Kawikwanipinis, Rivière Mistinic and Rivière Mistinik. As of November 2021 the Commission de toponymie du Québec had not determined the origin or meaning of the present name.[3]
