The Zymoetz River is a tributary of the Skeena River in northwestern part of the province of British Columbia, Canada. From its source in the Bulkley Ranges of the Hazelton Mountains the Zymoetz River flows southeast for about 145 km to empty into the Skeena River in the Zaimoetz 5 Indian Reserve of the Kitselas First Nation.
The Zymoetz River's drainage basin covers 3,026 km2. The river's mean annual discharge is estimated at 114 m3/s, with most of the flow occurring between May and October. According to the stream gauge "08EF005 Zymoetz River Above O.K. Creek", the Zymoetz's maximum recorded instantaneous discharge was 3,140 m3/s, on 1 November 1978. The Zymoetz watershed's land cover is classified as 56.8% conifer forest, 17.8% barren, 13.3% snow/glacier, and small amounts of other cover. The mouth of the Zymoetz River is located about 8 km west of Terrace, British Columbia, about 57 km north of Kitimat, about 120 km east of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and about 380 km west of Prince George, British Columbia.
Most of the Zymoetz River's drainage basin lies within the traditional territory of the Tsimshian Kitselas First Nation of the Kitselas people. The Burnie River tributary area is part of the traditional territory of the Wetʼsuwetʼen First Nation.
The meaning of "Zymoetz" is unclear. It may come from a Tsimshianic word meaning "palm of the hand".
