The Pocwock Stream is a tributary of the Saint John River (Bay of Fundy), flowing in:
- Quebec (Canada) in the administrative region of Bas-Saint-Laurent, in Kamouraska Regional County Municipality, in municipality of Mount Carmel. Note: In Quebec, the river is designated "Pocwock stream";
- Maine (United States) in the Aroostook County, in townships T17 R14 Wels, T17 R13 Wels and T16 R12 Wels.
Its course runs, especially in Maine, entirely in forested region in an isolated mountain valley, to the southeast of the Canada–US border. Its course is located between the Fox Creek (east side) and the Chimenticook River (west side). The watershed of the Pocwock river is accessible by some forest roads.
Pocwock Stream empties on north shore of Saint John River (Bay of Fundy). The latter serpentines eastward, then south-east, crossing all the province of New Brunswick, and empties on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy, which is open to the south-west to the Atlantic Ocean.
