The Mazarin River is a tributary of the Ashuapmushuan River, flowing into the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan, Quebec, into the Regional County Municipality (MRC) of Le Domaine-du-Roy, in the administrative region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, in Quebec, in Canada.

The Mazarin river flows entirely in the canton of Théberge. Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.

The Forest Road R0203 (North-South direction) serves the valley of the Mazarin River, the Hilarion River, the Du Chef River and the Nestaocano River; this road starting south at the junction of route 167 which links Chibougamau to Saint-Félicien, Quebec.

The surface of the Mazarin River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
