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. Alvaro Uribe, the current president of Colombia, bears this surname. In Latin America, there are other branches of the family in Ecuador and Mexico.
