Rideau is an historic township in eastern Ontario, Canada. It is located in the rural south of the City of Ottawa. Its eastern boundary is the Rideau River, its namesake.
The township was created in 1974 after the amalgamation of two other townships: Marlborough, and North Gower, plus Long Island, which was split between Osgoode and Gloucester Townships. In 2001 it was amalgamated into the City of Ottawa.
