The Jocko River is a river in Nipissing District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, is a right tributary of the Ottawa River, and lies entirely within Jocko Rivers Provincial Park.

Course

The Jocko River begins at Jocko Lake in geographic Osborne Township; the dispersed rural community of Jocko, on the Ontario Northland Railway, is at the head of the lake. The river heads northeast, then turns southeast, a course it thereafter follows all the way to its mouth. The Jocko River passes through geographic Garrow Township and geographic Clarkson Township before entering geographic Jocko Township, where it flows under Ontario Highway 63. It passes into geographic Eddy Township, takes in the right tributary Little Jocko River, and reaches its mouth at the Ottawa River.
