Rehau (German pronunciation: [ˈʁeːaʊ̯] ⁱ ) is a town in the district of Hof, in Bavaria, Germany. Rehau is situated in the Fichtel Mountains, 12 km southeast of Hof, and 12 km west of Aš.

The first documented name of Rehau was "Resawe" in the year 1234.

Formerly a fairly isolated town, located as it is near both Czech and former East German borders, with the fall of The Wall, it is now in the centre of a growing area, with a new highway providing ready access from Nuremberg and Munich. The principal employer and economic engine is the polymer manufacturer Rehau AG & Co, which was founded in 1948. With more than 15,000 employees Rehau is an international company that produces products for the construction industry, automotive and general industry.
