Barisha (Arabic: بَارِيشَا, Bārīšā;[1] also spelled Baricha and Barischa) is a village in northwestern Syria, administratively part of Harem District in the Idlib Governorate.

The place is located in the Idlib Governorate on the eponymous ridge, the Jebel Barischa, in the central area of the northern Syrian limestone massif.

The most famous place in the region is Qalb Loze, which is eight kilometers west, separated from Barischa by a valley on the also running in a north–south direction Jebel il-Ala. Other ancient ruins can be found nearby.

It lies on a flat slope beyond a valley in the midst of olive groves and cereal fields in small plots, which are separated by reading stone walls.

There were in the center of the village in the area of the church some stately two-storey buildings, which are referred to as residences and on one side a pillar portico was introduced.

Striking is the high number of smaller and very simple residential buildings with rectangular plain windows without portico, whose upright walls are made of huge stone blocks.

The only church built by a local workshop is a three-naved basilica with a rectangular chancel to the east flanked by lateral adjoining rooms.

ISIS leader and self-proclaimed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed himself and two children with a suicide vest while United States special operations forces (SOF) pursued him in his hideout in the outskirts of Barisha on 27 October 2019.
