Orlacher Bach is a stream in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is a tributary of the Kocher and is {{convert|4.6|km}} long. It is named for the small village of Orlach, which sits high above it. The stream begins about a kilometer WSW of the village of Nesselbach.

Extreme weather led to the stream's overflowing its banks on May 29, 2016, contributing to considerable damage to the town of Braunsbach.{{Cite web|url=http://web.de/magazine/panorama/unwetter-deutschland/unwetter-deutschland-baeche-strom-31589362|title=Wenn zwei Bäche zum Strom werden - Flut peitscht durch Braunsbach|website=WEB.DE News|access-date=2016-06-14}}{{cite web|last1=Grachtrup|first1=Bettina|title=Braunsbach ist nicht wiederzuerkennen (Braunsbach is unrecognizable)|url=https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article155805937/Braunsbach-ist-nicht-wiederzuerkennen.html|website=Die Welt|accessdate=18 June 2016|date=30 May 2016 |language=German}}
