Carrizo de la Ribera (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈriθo ðe la riˈβeɾa]) is a town and municipality in the Province of León, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2008 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 2,554 inhabitants. It is situated in the western bank of the Órbigo River. In addition to Carrizo, the municipality includes the villages of Huerga del Río, La Milla del Río, Quiñones del Río and Villanueva de Carrizo.

According to traditional sources, the town was originated by the depopulation of two earlier nearby towns: San Miguel de las Ollas and Villar de las Ollas, which were devastated by fire.
