Bentwisch is a municipality in the district of Bad Doberan, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, to the east of Rostock. The village has 2.455 inhabitants and covers 14.74 square kilometres. Due to its proximity to Rostock, the B 105, and the A 19, Bentwisch became a place of industry after German reunification.
