Er-Rich is a town in Midelt Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco. Formerly part of Errachidia Province, it became part of Midelt Province in 2009.[http://www.sgg.gov.ma/BO/bulletin/Fr/2009/BO_5744_Fr.pdf Décret 2-09-319, Bulletin officiel du Royaume du Maroc], [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029184332/http://www.sgg.gov.ma/BO/bulletin/Fr/2009/BO_5744_Fr.pdf archived], p 1017, 1027

The town originally developed around a ksar on a river bank of Oued Ziz on the plains between the mountains, and was an important fortress in previous times.

The town of Er-Rich once boasted a small church and a synagogue; the latter had been in use till the end of the sixties, when the Jewish community started leaving the town.

The secret Tazmamart prison was located near the town.{{Cite web |title=Mémoire: Réhabilitation du bagne de Tazmamart |url=https://www.maroc-hebdo.press.ma/rehabilitation-bagne-tazmamart |access-date=2023-07-24 |website=www.maroc-hebdo.press.ma |language=fr}}
