RISC OS (發音: /rɪskoʊˈɛs/)[4] 是給ARM架構的系統設計的一系列基於圖形化使用者介面的電腦作業系統。它的名字來源於它所支援的精簡指令集RISC 架構。 這個OS原本是被艾康電腦(Acorn Computers)公司開發,用於他們的1987的Archimedes個人電腦,該個人電腦使用的是Acorn RISC Machine處理器。它是由命令列介面和桌面環境組成的視窗系統。
最新的穩定版本執行在 ARMv3/ARMv4 RiscPC[5](或根據仿真通過VirtualAcorn或RPCEmu),ARMv5的Iyonix[6]和ARMv7的Cortex-A8處理器[7][8] (如使用的BeagleBoard和Touch Book)。在2011年,一個移植的Cortex-A9 PandaBoard已宣佈[9]和樹莓派在公眾場合露面的開發版本可免費下載的候選發佈版已跟進[10][11][12],這版本已免費提供樹莓派用戶。[13]
2018年10月,RISC OS在Apache 2.0許可證下開源[14]。

A snap of an RISC OS 5, running on a Beagleboard device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip, has tipped up on the world wide wibble. The port developed by Jeffrey Lee is a breakthrough for the shared-source project because it has ported the OS without an army of engineers.
