The 'Merindad de Uribe' or 'Uribealdea' is a historical subdivision of Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. Today, the "Uribe" is usually defined by subdivisions caused by the urban development of the Greater Bilbao conurbation. These are:

Bilbao (main city)

Uribe-Kosta (''Uribe-Coast''), around Getxo

Txoriherri, including Erandio

Hego Uribe (''Southern Uribe''), around Basauri and Galdakao

Mungialdea, around Mungia and Plentzia
Additionally, Barakaldo is now considered to be part of Left Bank and a few rural municipalities of the southernmost tip of historical Uribe are grouped with other areas in Arratia-Nerbioi.
Uribe is also a Basque surname. Etyologically seems to read ''under the city/town'' but its meaning is not clear.
