Viviers (also, Viviers-sur-Rhône) is a commune in the department of Ardèche in southern France.

It is a small walled city situated on the right bank of the Rhône.

Viviers became the capital of the Gaulish Helvii tribe following the decline of nearby Alba-la-Romaine.

In late Roman times, it also became a bishopric and the capital of the pays Vivarais. Today, it is still the see of the bishop of Ardèche.
