The Gilbert River is a freshwater tributary of the Cyriac River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

The Gilbert River is accessible by route 175; other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.

Forestry is the primary economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.

The surface of the Gilbert River is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
