Trout River (French: Rivière Trout) is a tributary of Châteauguay River, flowing in:

• the Adirondack Park, in Franklin County, New York, in Northern of New York State, in United States;
• the municipalities of Godmanchester and Elgin, in the Le Haut-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Montérégie, in southwestern Quebec, Canada.

This valley is mainly served in Quebec by the route 138 which passes on the west side of the river (from the border), then on the northwest side going towards the mouth. In New York State, the nearby route is Constable Street and State Highway 30.

The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December to the end of March. Safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
