Ritsem is a village in the Gällivare Municipality, Norrbotten County, Sweden. It is located in the Stora Sjöfallet National Park. The area falls within the Swedish Lapland, and is home to the Sámi people during the reindeer migration.

There is also a mountain cabin and caravan camp run by the Swedish Tourist Association.
