The Army of the Rhine (Armée du Rhin) is the overall name for one of the main French Revolutionary armies, that operating in the German theatre along the River Rhine.

An army of the Bourbon Restoration, along with an army of the Second French Empire (engaged in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, including the battle of Sedan), also bore this name.
