Al-Qiri (Arabic: القري, romanized: al-Qirī) or al-Jiri and al-Guraiy, is a subject of Baladiyah al-Batha and is one of the oldest neighborhoods of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It shares close proximity to al-Dirah and Jabrah neighborhoods. Originally an orchard, it is named after the al-Qiri Gate of the former city wall, south east of the erstwhile walled town.
