Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is a village on the north shore of the Saguenay River in Quebec, Canada.
The site was known, from 1801 to 1933, as La Descente-des-Femmes. Amerindian women awaited the return of the men from fishing, and would meet them by descending from the heights to the shore.

The specifier -du-Nord was added in 1933, when the post office was established. Residents are known as Roserains. [4]
The parish was first established in 1838. The economy is based primarily on tourism. [5] The village is a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Quebec.
