Vicki Risch is the former first lady of Idaho and the wife of U.S. senator Jim Risch, who served as governor of Idaho in 2006. She became first lady on May 26, 2006, when her husband succeeded former governor, Dirk Kempthorne, who resigned to become United States Secretary of the Interior.

Risch served as first lady until January 2007, as her husband did not seek a full term as governor, but rather was reelected to his old post as lieutenant governor.
