Riis Park is a park on Chicago's Northwest Side in the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood. The park covers 56 acres in a rectangle bounded by Grand Avenue to the south, Narragansett Avenue to the west, Wrightwood Avenue to the north, and Meade Avenue to the east.

The park is named after Jacob Riis, the New York City muckraker journalist and photographer who documented the plight of the poor and working class. A stone dedicated in Riis's honor in 1929 by Swedish citizens of Chicago can be found in the southwest corner of the park.{{Cite web |title=Jacob A.
