The Rivière Falcoz is a right tributary of the Rivière George in the northeast of the Canadian province of Québec .
The Rivière Falcoz rises 3 km north of Lac Lomier in the northeast of the Labrador Peninsula on the provincial border with Newfoundland and Labrador . The river initially flows south.
