Albariño (Galician pronunciation: or Alvarinho (Portuguese)is a variety of white wine grape grown in Galicia (northwest Spain), Monção and Melgaço (northwest Portugal), where it is used to make varietal white wines. Albariño is the Galician name for the grape; in Portugal it is known as Alvarinho, and sometimes as Cainho Branco.

It was presumably brought to Iberia by Cluny monks in the twelfth century. In Galician, its name "Albariño" comes from albar, and this from albo, both meaning "white, whitish" (and in Portuguese "Alvarinho" "Alvarano" from alvar and alvo), and those from Latin albus, "white". It has locally been thought to be a Riesling clone originating from the Alsace region of France, although earliest known records of Riesling as a grape variety date from the 15th, rather than the 12th, century. It is also theorized that the grape is a close relative of the French grape Petit Manseng.
