Collin River is a tributary of the North Shore of the Mégiscane River, flowing into Senneterre, in La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada.
The course of the river crosses successively the townships of Boisseau and Jurie.
The Collin River flows entirely in forest territory, generally towards the South crossing five bodies of water. Forestry is the main economic activity of this watershed. Road R0806 (Penetration Road) cuts from east to west the lower Collin River; secondary and forest roads serve the entire hydrographic slope. The surface of the river is usually frozen from mid-December to mid-April.

The mouth of this head lake is located at 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) south-east of R0807 which runs northward to the west of Martin Lake; at 18.1 kilometres (11.2 mi) north of the confluence of the Collin River with the Mégiscane River; at 35.0 kilometres (21.7 mi) east of downtown Senneterre; and at 37.4 kilometres (23.2 mi) south-east of the mouth of Parent Lake (Abitibi).
The main hydrographic slopes near the Collin River are:

- East side: Doyon Lake, Bastien River, Faillon Lake, Mégiscane River;
- South side: Mégiscane River;
