The Renous River is a tributary of the Southwest Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada.

The Renous River has its origins south of Holmes Lake in the Miramichi Highlands, part of the Appalachian Mountains, in the northwest corner of Northumberland County.

Renous River system consists of the two major branches, the North and the South, which merge and flow through heavy forests to join the Southwest Miramichi River at the village of Quarryville in Renous.

The river is noted for Atlantic salmon fishing. The annual run of Atlantic salmon occurs from June through October each summer and early autumn. Fishing is restricted to fly fishing only and all large salmon must be released. Salmon fishing in this river is generally best after a spate. Popular salmon flies on the Renous River include the Black Bear series, Butterfly, and Silver Cosseboom. Small deer-hair Buck Bugs are a popular fly in normal water conditions. There is also a local fly pattern known as the Renous Special.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Geography of New Brunswick</span>

New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces. While New Brunswick is one of Canada's Maritime Provinces, it differs from its neighbours both ethnoculturally and physiographically. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either wholly or nearly surrounded by water and the ocean, therefore, tends to define their climate, economy and culture. New Brunswick, on the other hand, although having a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean proper and has a large interior that is removed from oceanic effects. New Brunswick, therefore, tends to be defined by its rivers rather than its seacoast.
