Rimbo is a locality situated in Norrtälje Municipality, , Sweden with 4,629 inhabitants in 2010. Rimbo is located about 20 km west of the municipal seat Norrtälje.

Rimbo grew up as a railhead at the junction between the narrow gauge railways to Uppsala and Norrtälje (1884), (1885) and Hallstavik (1896). The last line (to Stockholm, part of Roslagsbanan) was closed in 1981. A formal decision has been taken to reopen the 14 km line to Kårsta (the present northern terminus of Roslagsbanan), but no funds have been allocated.

Rimbo has a successful men's handball team, Rimbo HK Roslagen, which played in the first tier of the Swedish handball system (Elitserien (men's handball)) in the 2013-2014 season.
