Rottenegg{{Need-IPA}} is a village in the municipality of Sankt Gotthard im Mühlkreis, in Upper Austria. It is named after the now-ruined Rottenegg Castle, just east of the village.
Rottenegg is surrounded by hilly country and is a good area for hiking, with excellent views.
It once lay on a Via Regia, a medieval trade route.{{sfn|St. Gotthard: Oberoesterreich.at}}
The ruined castle is on a projecting rock promontory where the Kleinen Rodl enters the Großen Rodl river from the north, looking over the confluence.
It guarded the old trade route.{{sfn|Hammerl|2007}}
The village puts on the Rottenegg Cultural Summer Program each year, which includes cabarets, concerts and plays.{{sfn|St. Gotthard: Oberoesterreich.at}}
The village is home to the Mühlviertler Heimatverein Rottenegg, a club that preserves folk dances and songs, and that puts on a play each year.{{sfn|Homepage: Mühlviertler Heimatvereines Rottenegg}}
The hall at the leisure center is also used for other events.{{sfn|Großer Kinderflohmarkt Rottenegg: meinbezirks.at}}
