The Maicasagi River is a tributary of Maicasagi Lake. This river flows from the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada.
The lower half of the river flows through the cantons of De Berey, De Doreil, De Clérin, De Branssat, De Davost, De Monseignat and De Urfé.
The hydrographic slope of the Maicasagi River is served by the R1018 (North-South) secondary road from Matagami, which spans the Maicasagi River at 4.2 kilometres (2.6 mi) from its mouth. 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.
