Beth Riva, born in 2003, is a Scottish bowls player who won the World Championship mixed pairs in 2025, partnering Jason Banks at the World Indoor Bowls Championship. The pair beat Robert Paxton and Lucy Smith, then Les Gillett and Nicole Rogers, and took the final against Paul Foster and Katherine Rednall without dropping a set. Riva reached a career high world ranking of 27 in March 2025 and was also runner-up in the ladies singles at that event, losing the final to Julie Forrest after beating Chelsea Spencer in the semi-final. After being capped as an under-25 Scottish international, Riva was chosen in 2022 by the Team Scotland Achieve programme to travel to the 2022 Commonwealth Games as part of the Team Scotland experience. Riva was studying law at Edinburgh Napier University at the time of the 2025 title, and is a niece of six-times world indoor singles champion Alex Marshall.
