Rižana (pronounced [ɾiˈʒaːna]) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2] It includes the hamlets of Bižaji, Paluzi, Santini, and Tinčki and is located on the river Rižana.

It is usually considered to be the site of the important early medieval dispute known as the Plea of Rizana or Placitum of Riziano, which took place in 804.[3]
