The Chensagi River is a tributary of Maicasagi Lake, in Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in the administrative region from Nord-du-Québec, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in Canada.
The lower course of the river successively crosses the townships of Dambourges and Grandfontaine.
The Chensagi River watershed is served by the northern route from Matagami to 29.3 kilometres (18.2 mi) west of the mouth of the Chensagi River. The surface of the river is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
