The Wedeler Au is a stream in northern Germany, 12.6 km long, of which 6 km are in Hamburg and 6.6 km are in Schleswig-Holstein. It is the longest tributary of the Elbe originating in Hamburg, as the sources of the longer rivers, the Bille, Alster, and Este, are all located in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, respectively.

Around 1960, the stream was one of the most polluted bodies of water in Germany. Renaturation measures began in the mid-1980s. In the 21st century, the Wedeler Au has been developed into the flagship watercourse of a regional park covering approximately 12,000 hectares, which serves as a pilot project for cross-state cooperation in the Hamburg metropolitan region.
