Teresa is a 4th class urban municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 29,475 people in 6,374 households.

It is situated in the slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountains and is landlocked on four corners by Antipolo City on the north, Angono on the west, Baras, on the east, and Morong, on the south.

Most of the people here are Tagalogs. Teresa is primarily known for the nearby mountain resorts, Villa Sampaguita Resort and the Sunset Resort. Contrary to some articles, Teresa is actually a valley surrounded by mountains. The town center is located almost at the center of the valley. In an aerial view of Teresa, one would notice the previously vast expanse of agricultural land bordered by marble-rich mountains.

Formerly, the predominant source of livelihood in Teresa is agriculture. But with the opening of the FR Cement Factory(Dragon Cement), Teresa Marble, and ABC Chemical Factory, members of the community have slowly shifted to industry. More, the real estate boom in the 90s caused a surge in the population in Teresa with the opening of the Carisa 1 & 2 subdivisions.

The town is passed by motorists bounded for the more inland towns of Morong, Baras, Tanay, Pililla, and Laguna and Quezon provinces.

Currently, Teresa, Rizal is lead by Municipal Mayor Rodel Dela Cruz.

Teresa is politically subdivided into 9 barangays.
