is a town in Taos County, New Mexico, United States. The population was 484 at the 2000 census.
The town of Red River began in earnest in the 1870s, when miners were drawn in by gold strikes in the area. By 1895, Red River was a booming mining camp, with gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum in some abundance, and a population estimated at three thousand. The mines shut down a few years later and the population waned, but the town survived. By the 1930s the remaining residents turned to tourism as their economic livelihood.
