The Rif (Berber:ⴰⵔⵉⴼ, Arabic:جبال الريف) is mainly a mountainous region of northern Morocco, stretching from Cape Spartel and Tangier in the west to Ras Kebdana and the Moulouya River in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the river of Ouargha in the south.

It is part of the Cordillera Bética that also includes the mountains of Southern Spain. The Rif mountains are not part of the Atlas Mountains but belong to the Gibraltar Arc or Alborán Sea geological region.

The region's name comes from the Berber word arif. Major cities in the Rif include Nador, Al Hoceima (also called Biya), Azghenghan, Selwan, Ajdir, Tawrirt and El Jebha.
