Ribble Valley is a local government district with borough status within the non-metropolitan county of Lancashire, England. Its council is based in Clitheroe. Other places include Whalley, Longridge and Ribchester. The area is so-called due to the River Ribble which flows from east to west through the area in its final stages towards its estuary past Preston. The area is popular with tourists who enjoy the area's natural unspoilt beauty, much of which lies within the Forest of Bowland.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the Clitheroe Municipal Borough, Longridge Urban District (including its component former civil parishes of Alston and Dilworth), the whole of Clitheroe Rural District, and parts of Blackburn Rural District, Burnley Rural District, and Preston Rural District, as well as the Bowland Rural District from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
