For local government purposes, the village is today within the civil parish of Swallowfield, which in turn is within the unitary authority of Wokingham.
Before 1844, Riseley was part of a detached portion, or exclave, of the county of Wiltshire, some 30 miles to the west. The Counties (Detached Parts) Act of that year resulted in its transfer to Berkshire.
