The Monsan River is a tributary of Lake Monsan which is crossed by the Maicasagi River located at Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in Canada.

The course of the Monsan River is entirely in the Southwestern part of the Assinica Wildlife Sanctuary.

The hydrographic slope of the Monsan River is served by a secondary road along the north shore of the Waswanipi River and separating from road 113 connecting Lebel-sur-Quévillon to Chibougamau and passing in Waswanipi.

The surface of the Monsan River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice movement is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
