Niederried bei Interlaken is a municipality in the district of Interlaken in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

It lies in the Bernese Oberland on the north shore of Lake Brienz. The highest point is the Suggiture (2085 m) at the northern edge of the municipality.

The name means "lower Ried near Interlaken." There are two explanations for the origin of the name Ried: from the Old High German riod, reoth ("clearing") or the Swiss German Ried (land growing reeds and swampgrass).
