Riccione (Italian pronunciation: [ritˈtʃoːne]; Romagnol: Arciôn [arˈtsoːŋ]) is a comune in the Province of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy.

Riccione is centred on the Rio Melo, a minor river that flows into the Adriatic Sea.[3][4] In the decades following the construction of the Bologna–Ancona railway in 1861,[5] Riccione grew substantially with the development of tourism and the construction of elegant villas in the Liberty Style.[6][7] It became independent from the municipality of Rimini in 1922,[8][9] and was further popularised after the Mussolini family bought a seaside villa for its summer holidays.[9][10] As of 2023, Riccione had an estimated population of 34,514.[11]

Riccione's economy is dependent on tourism, especially catering to young people and families.[12]
