left|thumb|200px|The Siffleur River The '''Siffleur River''' is a short river rising in the Canadian Rockies in western Alberta. The Siffleur River is an early tributary of the North Saskatchewan River.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Oegema |first1=Bart |title=North Saskatchewan River |url=https://esask.uregina.ca/entry/north_saskatchewan_river.html |website=ESask |publisher=University of Regina |access-date=6 May 2024}}</ref>
The river begins between Devon Mountain and Clearwater Mountain, at Clearwater Pass. The Siffleur is then joined by Dolomite Creek (flowing from Isabella Lake), and the Escarpment River. After plummeting over Siffleur Falls, the Siffleur River joins the North Saskatchewan River before Lake Abraham.<ref>Mussio Ventures. ''Southwestern Alberta Backroad Mapbook.''

Like the Siffleur Wilderness Area and Siffleur Mountain, the river's name was chosen by James Hector in 1858 for the shrill whistles of the marmot which inhabit the area.<ref name="crdb">{{cite crdb|id=1250|name=Siffleur Mountain|access-date=2023-08-06}}</ref>
