The Broadback River (French: Rivière Broadback) (In Cree: Chistamiskau Sipi[2]) is a river in northern Quebec, Canada. It drains into Rupert Bay (a smaller bay at the south end of James Bay), just south of the Rupert River and Cree community Waskaganish. The major lake on the river's course is Lake Evans.
The river is a popular canoe-tripping destination.[3]
