Riese Pio X (regularly shortened Riese) is a municipality in northeast Italy located in the province of Treviso in the Region of Veneto. The community's name, much like that of Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII, commemorates its most famous son, Giuseppe Melchiore Sarto, who later became Pope Pius X (Italian: Pio X).

On June 6, 2009, Riese Pio X was hit by a tornado. 23 people were injured and about 200 lost their homes.
