Rhenen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈreːnə(n)] ) is a municipality and a city in the central Netherlands. The municipality also includes the villages of Achterberg, Remmerden [nl], Elst and . The town lies at a geographically interesting location, namely on the southernmost part of the chain of hills known as the Utrecht Hill Ridge (Utrechtse Heuvelrug), where this meets the river Rhine. Because of this Rhenen has a unique character with quite some elevation through town.

Directly to the east of the built-up area lies the Grebbeberg, a hill with a top elevation of about 50 metres (160 ft).
