Red Rice is a double album by English folk musician Eliza Carthy, released in 1998. It was a nominee for the 1998 Mercury Music Prize.

It was subsequently released as two separate albums.

Critical reception

The Chicago Reader called Carthy "a great instrumentalist and an expressive singer who can straddle the generational divide with soul and beauty." The Sydney Morning Herald deemed the album the "cutting edge of contemporary English folk music."

AllMusic wrote that "Red is electric folk-fusion mixed with modern modes, while Rice uses more traditional means with subtler modernization."
