The Ribatejo (pron. IPA [ʁibɐ'tɛʒu]) is the most central region of Portugal, with no coastline or border with Spain. It may be translated as "Above the Tagus". The region is crossed by the Tagus and is the agricultural heart of the country.

Although it has no officially defined borders, being only an historical and cultural region, the places normally considered to be part of it are Abrantes, Alcanena, Almeirim, Alpiarça, Azambuja, Benavente, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Constância, Coruche, Golegã, Ponte de Sor, Salvaterra de Magos, Santarém, Tomar and Vila Nova da Barquinha.

The biggest cities of Ribatejo are Santarém and Tomar. As an administrative subdivision (province) it disappeared in 1976, and its territory was incorporated by Portugal's present regions.
