The Falls River is a 5.1-mile-long (8.2 km) stream that drains Baraga County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the United States, and flows into Lake Superior in the community of L'Anse.

Its name derives from the fact that it flows over slate bedrock with a gradient (rate of descent) that increases as it nears its mouth, cascading over numerous slate waterfalls.
