The Cherry River or Rivière aux Cerises is a river in Magog, Quebec that is part of the Lake Memphremagog watershed. This river flows through the cities Orford, then Magog, in the Memphremagog Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Estrie, in Quebec, in Canada.

The river was flooded by the creation of dams in the late 19th century, creating a permanent wetland around it.^[2]
