The Kitseguecla River is an approximately 32 km long orographic left tributary of the Skeena River in the northwest of the Canadian province of British Columbia .

This finally flows into the Skeena River at the Kitseguecla settlement , 20 km south-southwest of Hazelton . The British Columbia Highway 16 (Yellow Head Highway) crosses the Kitseguecla River immediately above the mouth.
