Ritgerð um ríkisvald (á ensku: Two Treatises of Government eða Two Treatises of Government: In the Former, The False Principles and Foundation of Sir Robert Filmer, And His Followers, are Detected and Overthrown. The Latter is an Essay concerning The True Original, Extent, and End of Civil-Government) er rit um stjórnmálaheimspeki eftir enska heimspekinginn John Locke og birtist fyrst nafnlaust árið 1689. Ritgerðirnar eru tvær en venjulega er titillinn hafður í eintölu á íslensku. Í fyrri ritgerðinni er sett fram gagnrýni á feðraveldi þar sem Locke gagnrýnir eða hrekur kenningar Roberts Filmer úr ritinu Patriarcha málsgrein fyrir málsgrein. Í síðari ritgerðinni setur Locke fram eigin stjórnspekikenningu sem byggist á hugmyndum um náttúrurétt og samfélagssáttmála.
