The Pigeon River, also known as the East Branch Pigeon River, is a 37.9-mile-long (61.0 km)[2] stream in Huron County in the Thumb of the U.S. state of Michigan.

The stream rises from the confluence of Appin and Livingston drains[1] in southern Sheridan Township. It flows north and west to empty into the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron in Caseville[1]
