The Delestres River is a tributary of the northeastern shore of Parent Lake (Abitibi) (the Bell River hydrographic slope, the Nottaway River and the Rupert Bay). The Delestres River flows in Senneterre, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada.

The Delestres River flows successively into the townships of Martin, Augier and Delestre. The lower portion of the river is included in the Parent Lake Marsh Biodiversity Reserve.

The surface of the Delestres River is generally frozen from mid-December to mid-April. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.
