La Riviera del Brenta è la zona urbana, storico-paesaggistica, distribuita lungo il "Naviglio del Brenta", il vecchio alveo della Brenta Vecchia, del fiume Brenta che inizia a Stra e sfocia a Fusina nella laguna di Venezia; coinvolge i territori dei comuni di Stra, Fiesso d'Artico, Dolo, Fossò, Mira (VE).
Il corso d'acqua del Naviglio rivestì un importante ruolo come via di comunicazione tra la laguna di Venezia e il padovano.
L'area è caratterizzata dalla presenza di moltissime ville, costruite tra il XVI e il XVIII secolo dalle famiglie patrizie veneziane, che testimoniano la potenza aristrocatica dell'epoca. A quell'epoca la Riviera veniva raggiunta solo spostandosi in barca, mentre le strade attuali sono state costruite successivamente.
I nobili veneti venivano trasportati sul fiume da un battello chiamato Burchiello trainato dalle rive da uomini, buoi o cavalli, mentre le merci erano trasportate da barche chiamate Burci. Ancora oggi la crociera lungo la Riviera del Brenta costituisce un'attrattiva turistica.
