The Louvart River is a tributary of the south shore of the Lepallier River flowing into the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada.
The course of the Louvart River is located southwest of James Bay Reserve.
A winter forest road (North-South direction) passes to 8.8 kilometres (5.5 mi) on the east side of Louvart Lake, between Chaboullié Lake and Rodayer Lake. This road is more or less parallel to the west side of the James Bay main road from Matagami and further north.
The surface of the Louvart River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
