The Risle (less common: "Rille") is a 144 km long river in Normandy, left tributary of the Seine.

The river begins in Orne west of L'Aigle, crosses the western part of the department of Eure flowing from south to north and out into the estuary of the Seine on the left bank near Berville-sur-Mer. Its valley is part of the Pays d'Ouche and bounds the regions of the Lieuvin and Roumois.

The Risle is regarded as a coastal river. Fishing is common downstream at Pont-Audemer.

Its only major tributary is the Charentonne. The Risle flows through the following departments and communes:

*Orne: Sainte-Gauburge-Sainte-Colombe, L'Aigle
*Eure: Rugles, Beaumont-le-Roger, Brionne, Montfort-sur-Risle, Pont-Audemer
