The Eau Rouge is a small, 15 km long stream in the Belgian province of Liège, right tributary of the Amblève. It starts in the Hautes Fagnes and ends near Stavelot in the river Amblève.

The river has lent its name to the Eau Rouge corner, one of the best-known corners in Formula One racing circuits in the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps at the point where it crosses the track for the first time.

The river has particullary geomorphological interest, as it appears to be the old position of the Warche river.
