The Merindad de Uribe or Uribealdea is a historical subdivision of Biscay, Basque Country. Modernly it's usually considered 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.
