Rhenen () is a municipality and a city in the central Netherlands. The municipality also includes the villages of Achterberg, and Elst. The town lies 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 significant elevation changes across the town.
