The Breitenauriegel (colloquially also called the Breitenauer Riegel) is a mountain in the Bavarian Forest of Germany.

The mountain is {{Höhe|1116|DE-NHN|link=true}}{{GeoQuelle|DE-BY|BV}} high and rises from the crest of the Vorderer Bavarian Forest near Bischofsmais and the neighbouring summits of the Geißkopf and the Dreitannenriegel.

At the top is a summit rock with a summit cross and view looking northwest towards Gotteszell. North of the Breitenauriegel, towards, Geißkopf, is the plateau of Oberbreitenau. Various footpaths from Habischried, Bischofsmais, Rusel and Rohrmünz, including the Main-Danube Way with the Ostlinie{{GeoQuelle|DE-BY|BV}} make their way to the summit. About 750 metres southeast of the top is a works hut for the Deggendorf branch of the mountain rescue service, the Bergwacht.{{Cite web |url=http://www.bergwacht-bayern.org/index.php?id=4216 |title=Bergwacht Deggendorf |access-date=2018-04-07 |archive-date=2017-03-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170313173945/http://www.bergwacht-bayern.org/index.php?id=4216 |url-status=dead }}{{GeoQuelle|DE-BY|BV}}
