Rivière-Héva is a municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada in the MRC de La Vallée-de-l'Or. It is named after the Héva River that flows through the municipality.
In 1935 as part of the Vautrin Settlement Plan, the place was colonized, originally called Aux Quatre-Coins (French for "At Four Corners"). In 1981, it was incorporated as a municipality.
On August 29, 2009, Rivière-Héva was greatly enlarged when it absorbed the Unorganized Territory of Lac-Fouillac and the western portion of the Unorganized Territory of Lac-Granet.
