Rice Village is a collection of shops, restaurants and bars located about one half-mile west of Rice University in Houston, Texas.

The central core of the district extends over 10 city blocks, defined by University Boulevard, Kirby Drive, Rice Boulevard, and Morningside Drive, though spillover has expanded the retail area to a total of 16 blocks, including northward extensions along Kirby and into the present mixed-use blocks between Morningside and Greenbriar.

Rice Village's charm has been in the quirky & unique independent shops it offers, though high rents have done away with many of them in recent years and replaced them with chains or vacancies.
