 | | La Grande River (French: La Grande Rivière; Cree: Chisasibi, both meaning "great river") is a river in northwestern Quebec, Canada, which rises in the highlands of north central Quebec and flows roughly 900 km west to drain into James Bay. |
 | | Originally, the La Grande River drained an area of 97,400 km², although the Eastmain and Caniapiscau water diversions have increased the total catchment area to about 175,000 km². |
 | | The modern Cree village of Chisasibi, which replaced Fort George in 1980, is situated on the southern shore of the La Grande River, several kilometers to the East. |
