I've seen black rice at a local shop that carries Asian foods. I have to confess that I had never seen it before. Do you have access to an Asian store that you could ask?

To clarify, I've seen plain black rice, not black rice flour.

Depending on how much you need, you could try making your own in a coffee grinder. I've done this with small amounts of brown rice and it turned out amazingly well. I have one coffee grinder I use only for grains and so far have made my own millet flour, brown rice flour, almond flour and a few others.

Thanks Beth!....Not to sound stupid but you do it with uncooked rice....right?

Right.

I wonder if you're referring to Montina flour. That's the only product I'm aware of which resembles what you're looking for. I agree with the idea of using a coffee grinder to make your own. I've had success with it as well.

I signed up just to reply for your advice- thanks!

I ground some black rice very finely in my Vita-mix, and Viola! Black Rice Flour! I wanted to see if it worked as well as white rice flour, so I made a quick sauce by melting 1 teaspoon coconut oil (the only oil that's safe to heat) over medium heat, adding 1 tsp black rice flour, thickening it, then stirring in about 1/4 c cream and a cup of chicken broth and a sprinkle of cumin- total experiment. It was wonderful! The nutty flavor of the rice made it taste like a chicken- mushroom sauce.

So, yeah, making black rice flour is easy!
