The Rabnitz (Hungarian: Répce, Rábca) is a river in eastern Austria and northwestern Hungary. Its basin area is 4,506 km2 (1,740 sq mi).[1]

The Rabnitz is formed at the confluence of its two headstreams Spratzbach and Thalbach near Hollenthon in Lower Austria. It flows towards the east through Burgenland, and enters Hungary (Győr-Moson-Sopron County) near Répcevis. It receives the Hanság-főcsatorna, the canal that drains the Neusiedler See, from the left. It discharges into the Moson branch of the Danube near Győr.
