The Count of Ribeira Grande (Portuguese: Condes de Ribeira Grande) is a title of nobility granted to a hereditary line of nobles from the island of São Miguel in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, most closely associated with the Gonçalves da Câmara family.

The title was first conferred to Dom Manuel Luís Baltazar da Câmara, 4th Count of Vila Franca, in 1662, and his branch of the Câmara family continued to represent the title after the extinction of noble titles and the monarchy in 1910.
